Header Pictures

Updated: July 11, 2011

All of the header images (images at the top of each web page) were taken by me. The images rotate; each time you visit the site (or refresh your browser) you should see a different image. New images will be added from time to time and listed here as well.

For those technically inclined, the rotating script is from Matt Mullenweg and can be found here: http://ma.tt/scripts/randomimage/.

Here’s a list of all of the images with some information about them.
