In a move that I will inevitably regret, I have added a comments system to my images. Yep, now you can tell me exactly what you think of my work.
Please be kind. I welcome constructive criticism. In fact, I generally prefer that over gushy comments. However, outright meanness will not be accepted. All comments must be approved by me before they will appear on the site. If I feel that your comment is rude, profane, or otherwise mean, it will not be approved.
Tell me what you think, just be polite about it. If I don't get to your comment and approve it immediately, don't get all bent out of shape. I might actually be busy with something and will get to the comments as soon as I can.
If you want to ask me a question about purchasing a piece, or other questions that do not directly pertain to an image, then please use my contact form instead.
Ok. I'm ready. Swing away Merrill. Merrill... swing away.

Even non-Flash Friendlier!

Woot! Yay, me! I have modified the BrainMaps script (that I'm using to mimic Zoomify on the iPhone and iPad) to respond to gestures. Touch and drag an image on iPhone/iPad to scroll across an image. Pinch/unpinch to zoom in and out.
So, here's a toast to *finally* being iPhone and iPad friendly!
Ok. I'm done patting myself on the back.

Non-Flash Friendly!

I'm happy to announce that as of today, this site is officially iPhone/iTouch/iPad friendly. Well, more friendly than it was.
Until now, the gallery collections required that you have the Flash plugin to view the images in each collection. I have been searching for a non-flash solution. What I have found is not perfect, but comes very close. It will allow browsers that do not have the Flash plugin to view the images, as long as the browser is allowing javascript.
Since my pieces generally range between 50 to 200 megapixels, I cannot display them outright. To date, I know of no solution that does not require javascript and/or Flash.
This javascript solution is not perfect. There are some minor bugs that need to be worked out, and it currently requires a second click to get to the non-flash page for each image.
I am open to ideas/suggestions for alternative solutions. If you know of one, please let me know!!
