I would travel any day rather than the internet. But $ constrains. But this way- doing back bround work on the internet- I'll know better just where to go and what to look for when I do come there. I do like the large formats of images you've done for us - it is great! I'm not yet shure where to look for in the inages for my peoples area as of yet. I believe it was some place like IRA or Cato but I've been saving the images for later study. blocked @1820 Erastus Graves Cayuga Co. happy hunting ed graves jr > Maybe I should also ask the question: > > How many out there DO NOT travel to Cayuga County, the County Offices, or > to Museums here because "everything" is on the web? > > and while I am asking > > How many would rather see images on the web in enlarged formats > rather than > small, one size images in a book ? > > I contend that there is a place for both and that there is no way the > pictures will ever be published in a paper format so that people can see > the enlarged images.
