Over the the last few years, I’ve thrown together many different temporary web galleries of my images. Some have been for client review, some have just been for personal use. Due to a lack of an organized web presence in the earlier years, I’ve scattered these temporary galleries around on the web, like those little helicopter thingies that fly from

OK, I know that in the last post, I said that was the end of the story. And quite honestly, I thought it was. Last Thursday evening, I received an email from someone asking if they could use one of my Joe Nichols photos for a magazine. They had received a link to a small online image gallery from Joe’s
So, before we continue with the final installment of the series, let’s go back to the beginning for a second.
