Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah

Welcome to my web site!

July 2011 Update:
It's been three years since this web site got launched, and while there's been several internal updates, I haven't really updated the verbage or layout of the site. So here we go!

See what it says at the top of the page? It says Keane's Pictures, not Keane's Fine Photography. This site started as a place to put my vacation pictures, when I got tired of creating slideshows and burning CD's. That doesn't mean all the images are terrible, either. Just had to make that clear... :-)

Believe it or not, it was also done to learn a little html. But you can read about that in Notes and Comments.

Also note it doesn't say "Keane's Information Site", since everything on my site is how I remember things, not necessarily how it really was. (At least I'm honest about it.) But, I do try to verify everything I say.

You should probably view this site on a monitor with resolution of at least 1024x768, though 1280x1024 or larger is recommended. I've tried to keep those with narrower monitors in mind. However, there are some pretty wide panoramics here, so if the image goes all the way to the right side of the screen, check for a scroll bar... (See How to use this site... for an example.)

Enough. On with the show!

First order of business. See this sign? It's in the China Pavilion in Epcot at Walt Disney World. Truer works have never been spoken. More, I would modernize this to say: "Seeing pictures or video 100 times is not as good as seeing it in person once." There is no substitute for standing on a mountain peak, breathing in the thin air; the boom of a massive fireworks shell that thumps you in the chest; or five pound smallmouth bass fighting you on the other side of a thin mono-filament line.

Second. Most pages have text with thumbnails. Thumbnails are generally bordered by a thin color border, green if you haven't looked at the picture, purple if you have. Clicking on any thumbnail will get you a bigger picture. Go to How to use this site for more information.

Third. The images have been optimized for the size they are. I did try to make the images a viewable size. (Generally, 500 or 600 pixels on the narrow side.) If you see an image that looks distorted, please let me know. (I probably messed up.)

Fourth, I own all the pictures and images on this site (unless otherwise noted.) That means you can't use them without my permission. There is a "Contact Me" link on just about every page. Use it. I may also be selling prints of the photos on this site soon. Use the "Contact Me" link and write me to get details.

The site is split up into five sections. Road Trips, Theme Parks, Other Stuff, Wallpapers and Video; and administravia.

Road Trips

Road Trips are just that. Vacations or business trips by car. I've been doing road trips since about 1986, some documented better than others. Most of the early trips were business trips, but since 1996 I've taken some long vacations out west...

For the most part, the Road Trips will be presented in chronological order. It's a road trip, after all. If the Road Trip you're looking at is post-2002 or so, you can determine the exact date and time (within 10 minutes or so, not to mention they're GMT+6, or US-Central Standard Time) from the filename. (See Notes and Comments for more information.)

Theme Parks

Theme Parks, mainly in Central Florida, is where I go when I want to escape from the real world. Someplace I can go, and just park my car for a few days. In addition, if you ever need a place to practice your photography and videography without someone calling homeland security on you, these are the places. Colorful, whimsical, where everything is designed to stimulate the senses, especially at night when they can highlight only the things they want you to see.

None of the Theme Parks are presented in chronological order. They are, rather, a walk through the parks. What you'd see if you just took a stroll. There's some places that are thin on images, but they'll get filled in over time...

Other Stuff

Other stuff is the stuff that doesn't fit in the categories above, from snowstorms to air shows. Amazing the stuff you take over a long time. 'Course, I've lost a lot of pictures, too. But you never know if some box in a back bedroom closet doesn't contain some of the negatives and slides...

There is also a section with Video and Wallpapers.

Just one request, don't "borrow" my stuff without permission. I'm not going to try to stop you from downloading images for your private use, but don't use it in a publication or a web site (or in any for-profit enterprise) with out my permission or attribution. Hey, just ask. I'm usually pretty easy. (heh)

And finally, send a comment! Feedback, good or bad, is the only way to improve the site:
keane@keanespics.com.
Alternately, there should be a link on how to contact me at the bottom of the menu on the left...

Enjoy!
Keane
