We feel it necessary to make this statement, especially for those that view our graphics on slower connection speeds. We do not make it a practice to compress our images in order to speed up load time of the pages. Degrading of the images when compressed is especially noticable on lower color displays. This is a GRAPHICS site, and we therefore assume that you are here to look at graphics, and should expect a little longer load time when viewing our work. For this reason, load times of some of the sets may seem longer than normal to you. It is our hope that you find the few seconds wait time worth the while, so that you may view our work in their original quality condition.
