Description

The last two galleries on my home website "SirJohns World" contain some of my favorite 'old' images. These images were created on my very first computer, and were done at very low resolution simply to be shared on my site. It wasn't until later that I had a robust computer that was capable of large format imagery.

Many of these images I have kept on my site all through the years. They are my very own trip down memory lane. I have long lamented the fact that I cannot reproduce them in print. The image quality would simply fail miserably once they were brought to the printshop. So... they simply hang around SirJohns World... until now!

I had wondered what some of them may look like hanging on the wall. It was while thinking of that very thought that the idea for this image popped into my head. If I cannot recreate them individually... why not give them new life in their very own museum?

I decided that the image would be like an old snapshot out of a newspaper... all but the artwork. Despite the fact that they have been hanging around forever, to me they are still vibrant and vital. The fuzzy and rather indistinct people visiting the gallery are a representation of my memory of the people who once viewed them and shared their thoughts with me. I think I miss them the most.

Anyway, thank you all for looking. And a HUGE thank you to everybody who has been giving such wonderful comments. I truly appreciate every single one of them! THANK YOU.
