Essays & Multi-media presentation:
THE BIG PICTURE:
URL: http://doble.interspeed.net/bigpic/
This is the story that asks the big questions:
where did we come from, where are we going, and what do we do now?
This is a set of very short essays which attempts
to answer these questions using
modern scientific understanding as a basis.
"The story of how humans came to live on the Earth,
as told by modern theories, is beautiful and mythic.
I believe we owe it to ourselves as a culture to tell
this story in simple terms that can be easily understood."

NEW FASTER WEB SITE
Thanks to a new program, JPEG Wizard, I can now reduce the size
of my JPG pictures by about 70% without any loss in quality. 
Check my main page for a link to this software.

I just like their software.)

FUTURE EXHIBITS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS WILL START WITH EACH SEASON:
I have decided to put work up on the Internet and
to send out announcements on a quarterly basis
at the start of each season.
Look for new work at the start of summer (July 1),
fall (October 1), winter (December 1 - snowflakes and Christmas lights),
and spring (April 1).
Announcements will be sent out about a month later as time permits.
