This virtual photo gallery was born during the Summer of 2006, was redesigned in September 2007, and has been upgraded in August 2008. Without the support, patience and help of many people, this gallery would never have existed. I express my gratitude to all of you, not in the least to the lovely models posing in my out-of-time-and-place short stories.  Your precious contribution, continuing support and sincere comments will always remain invaluable – indeed essential – parts of this creation.

Please be aware that Internet browsers are only able to show you a fraction of all the colours (several millions) that are present in the original colour space of a digital photo. Furthermore, uncalibrated computer screens will not display the right tones and contrasts.  To view the photographs on-line in the best possible conditions, turn off most or all ambient light, put your browser in full screen mode, and adjust the brightness and contrast of your computer screen so you can see all 33 shades of grey from black to white on the following scale:
