From anywhere, use the “Archives” (reverse chronological) tool on the right to access previous posts.
The design of this site is to show both individual photographs, and galleries of photos. If the photo is large, it probably stands alone, unless noted otherwise. If it’s a medium sized thumbnail, it almost always launches a photo gallery (hosted by Smugmug.com of late) in a new tab.
Galleries can be views in multiple ways, including a slide show. Feel free to experiment with a viewing style that works best.
