        I've traded physical pictures with people on a few occasions with
good success.  However, for a number of years it has seemed easier to
distribute pics on the net.  I have seen some at ftp sites, others on web
pages.  A few years ago I set up an ftp site for my own photos and have
maintained it with varying consistency.  Now that I have my own scanner, the
quality is improving and I can update and upgrade much more quickly when I
learn something new about its operation.

        I have a readme file with the photos with basic information but it
could easily be expanded if anyone were interested.  Perhaps it would be
more productive to respond to email and get acquainted with the people who
have visited the site.

        Check out the pub/stereo directory of ftp.ucs.mun.ca and see what
you think.

sent them off to him. He will most likely never get to photograph an old
Idaho mining town with 1920's
vintage cars or the Old Idaho State Penitentiary or me at work on my
microscope *{;-)

        Good idea.  Shooting to order is a good excuse to get out and
rethink scenes that have become too familiar.  You have to put yourself in
the place of someone to whom the locations are without context.

any way I could.

        Why not?  Assuming you have access to a location for your pages,
creating them is not that difficult.  Have a look at Laura Lemay's _Teach
Yourself Web Publishing with HTML 3.0 in a week_.  It is an excellent
introduction and handbook.  And, if you work where I think you do, getting
some personal ftp for your photos space could also be a possibility.
