 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 License. Other
publications, web sites and discussion
groups make
use of my writing & images. Ideas for many editorial topics
can be found on these pages.
Please let me know how my content will be used and where it will be found. I enjoy learning about the things this site has inspired. Higher resolution scans, of my photos, are available. Let me know what
image, or images, spark your
interest.
I can send it (and or) look around in my archive for related
things.
Most photos were, however, taken with a cheap camera. Is it the
subject
of the photo that counts or the resolution of the presentation? If camera expense is what counts, then you can just laugh at me and move on. Some of my images
have sold for money.
Most others
are given away to good causes, such as someone writing a budget request
for a bike lane. Photos are given to authors, students writing
term
papers, fledgeling start up businesses, people telling their trip
stories
and so forth. I like to inspire
writers with quotes and
ideas.
My thoughts have found their way into books and newspaper
columns.
Please let me know about the things you are doing that have been
inspired by my
work. A few businesses
have approached me to buy text
links from pages in my site. They've paid around around $50 - $75
per page, per year for a small ad with several links.
Link exchanges related to my content are welcome also. I provide quite a few free links to related non profit type content such as listings in my gay and lesbian GLBTQ guide to Bellingham. There are also Google Adsense ads sprinkled through these sites. Don't worry, they are not pop ups and they shouldn't put any software on your computer. (I keep hearing bad things about adware, which this is not). These are just simple text based banners that are served up with some of my html pages. Google AdSense uses search engine technology to choose ads that are relevant to the topics being discussed in my pages. This means the ads may actually enhance reader interest by providing links to more related information; for instance companies that sell bike touring maps. I receive payment
for these ads which
supplements my income.
No, I am not able to quit my custodial job, but it is nice to get some
income from the site. Donations are also
welcome, but I'm not
pushing the revenue side of things. This site is mainly "another
part of the global conversation," or maybe I should say "the global
conversations." My presence on some
other Internet
services such as Youtube, Flickr,
Facebook.
