        Hi Jim,

Thanks for putting up your photos. They are very good.
I have assignments in your region next year and never having been there, it
is great to see some good pictures of what I can expect to see.

How was it working in Uzbekistan and area? 
 Any "suprises" I should watch out for?

...as for dressing up the web page. It worked fine for me. It loaded fast
and the pictures all came up quickly.  The more you "dress it up" the slower
it will get.

As for design, I'm told it is like buying/building a house. "you have to go
through a few before you are happy with it."

Go have a look at A LOT of other photo pages and see what you like.
Mine is a mess and really slow if you are on a dial up service, but I do
recommend "our own" Eric Welsh's at http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch

also Donal Philby at http://www.donalphilby.com/

Here is a link to Frank Niemeir's Photography list. This is an exhaustive
list of photography web pages

NICE WORK!
