Someone suggested I should post a picture here....so......hope this html thing works....first time using html

I was at the Collings Lakes (home for me) annual barbeque, and this kid was kinda moping around, but he was always hiding behind somebody. Eventually he hid behind me....so I tucked my camera under my right arm pit and pressed the button with my left thumb.....never actually expecting it to come out.....but...

Apparently all it was missing was the "&size=md" at the end.

ah! thank you.......a photo.net thing, thought I had the html right. Did you include the height and width, or does the mid take care of that?

-- T.S. Sullivan (thomas.sullivan@baesystems.com), August 11, 2001.

I didn't use the height or width. I'm not really sure when you have to use those.

For non-photo.net db images, height and width tags for image files ending in .JPG (not scripts, as in photo.net db) are appreciated by the viewer because they allow the rest of the web page text to load while the image loads independenly in a sized box that is pre-drawn to the specification of the height and width tags. Photo.net db images, such as this one, don't need the height and width tags because of the "size=" parameter in which case a script sets the size for you and allows following text to load before the image finishes.

Interesting photograph. I think the background to the left is sort of distractingly bright, though. His expression is the best thing.

It's a nice mood shot. My brother sometimes used to go and sulk behind a tree at family picnics, so it resonates with me. Burning in the background would make sense - if the figures were less washed out, they'd add to the 'story' in the image.
