My "bike page" was created on October 12, 1996 and has gone through 3 major revisions. Anyone who has built a web site knows how time consuming it can be, but it is also fun to get email from folks around the world with similar interests.

This site was built using the following:

Apple Powerbook G4 Ti 667mhz, 512mb RAM, 30GB hard drive, DVD/CD-R/RW drive.

Adobe GoLive HTML page layout and site management

Adobe Photoshop 7.0 - graphics, photo manipulation, java script rollovers for site navigation. Can not rave enough about Adobe Photoshop. There is a steep learning curve but well worth the effort. The integration between Photoshop and GoLive makes life a lot easier.

I used Photoshop to create the "panorama" photos from 3-4 regular images. Each image was placed on a layer and then carefully aligned with it's ajoining images. I then made adjustments to brightness and contrast so that each layer had the same exposure. Next I used a layer mask and the pen tool to make the seams invisible. Finally, I croped the final image to size.

Nikon Cool Pix 990 Digital Camera - Prior to getting this camera I used a Canon F1n and had to scan slides to get them into 0's and 1's. The 990 is an awesome compact camera. I wish I had one 10 years ago.

Some other sites that I have created: SRFF.ORG, TOXICTAXI.COM

If you have any questions about this site or how it was created, drop me a note.
