Welcome to
www.theimage.com

 
 
 
 
TheImage.com was first posted in 1995-96 and began with a few images of minerals and gemstones. It has grown over the years and now enjoys several thousand visits per day. The site is used by K-12 school systems, and other educational institutions as a resource.

I have added various tutorials to the site and some, like the Gifology have likely lived beyond their useful life cycle, and will be retired in the Fall. The tutorials on Digital Photography and Beginning Faceting have been pared down to still images from their original Quicktime animated files for WEB delivery. I have given both in numerous presentations at Rock and Gem Clubs, and variations of the photography presentation at the MacworldExpo conference in San Francisco, Boston, and New York.

I will be adding more tutorials and more photographs to the site in the Fall of this year. (2005) I am currently busy moving from Michigan to North Carolina.

I have completed and am finishing a users guide based on a geology text book, and this will be a major addition in the fall, I will also include many pages of additional information on digital photography with minerals, gemstones, jewelry and other small objects as the central theme.

A word about the images on this site: all of the photographs on this site where taken by the author unless otherwise specified. Permission to use the images in non-commercial publications and/or for educational use is hereby granted with the only stipulation being a credit citation. Something like "Copyright theimage.com". An image may be used to create a link back to this site, or may be used as a decorative object on a web site. I have granted limited special use (free) for many other purposes by e-mail request.

There are no "higher resolution" images for most of the photographs taken before 2004. (all of the 320x240 resolution pictures) They were captured using a low resolution video camera (512x480) and the microscope.
