Download Images

Digital photographs must be compressed before trying to use them on a web page. Compression is accomplished by 1.) physically resizing (reducing) the dimensions - width and height - of the photograph; as well as 2.) reducing the number of dots per inch (dpi) it contains, which reduces the quality of the picture. Image editing programs are needed for this.

All of the images on this website were edited for web display. Their dimensions were resized smaller and they were compressed to around 72/96 dpi (from 200/300 dpi), which ultimately reduced their print quality. For that reason, I decided to create this page for those who want 'originally scanned' photographs that are larger dimensionally and in terms of quality (on average, they are 300 dpi).

Click on a thumbnail image to download a compressed or 'zipped' file. The zipped file contains the larger photograph which you can save to your computer and personalize, etc., to your heart's content!

The images on this website were also edited 'formally'. Much time was taken to sharpen, unsharpen, apply special filters, adjust color levels, etc., etc. Image editing programs are also needed for these types of adjustments.
