Photo Access by Web Page Descriptions

This page provides access to the photos via brief descriptions of the photos on each Web page. Its main purpose is to help you find individual pictures when you know the general topic and approximate date of the picture. This is useful after you've perused all the albums and want to go back for a second or third look at pictures of particular interest or for use in other documentation. Album order here is chronological, 4, 3, 1, 2, in keeping with the Web page descriptions which attempt to give photo dates. These dates are best estimates.
