Pictures & Quotations
|
We find the
right picture can really increase the power of a quotation. We
have been experimenting with adding famous quotations
to some of our pictures. You can see the results
here. |

background Pictures
We hope to build a line of products which feature proverbs,
verses, sayings, and quotations superimposed onto a background
picture. These background pictures need to have a light
or dark area of the right size to frame the inserted text.
For example, desert landscape pictures work because they
have the sky above and the earth below, with a obvious dividing
line at the horizon. These kind of pictures also work
well for header graphics on a webpage where you need somthing
that looks good when cropped to be very wide but narrow from
top to bottom.
Walking Rain Gallery
This website displays only a few of our collection of background
pictures. At Walking Rain Gallery we have more, as
well as many pictures of other subjects. Clicking
links on this site will take you to the background category
of Walking
Rain Gallery. Once
there you can see all of our background pictures and order
whatever pictures and/or products you would like. We
invite you to look around and see what we have in other categories
while you are there.
About us and our background pictures
We enjoy photography and use the income from sales of our
pictures and products to finance more travel and photography. However,
we find the rights management conditions required by stock
photo companies unreasonable.
Our copyright and digital rights management is very simple:
you can do anything you want with these images, including
using them for commercial products, except claim
you have a copyright to the original image. We retain
the right to use the images ourselves in any way we please. Fair
enough?
We have included images on the website which are not
large enough to print a 5" x
7" at
300 DPI. The download for those is free. We think
that is a good way to let customers test our shopping cart
and enjoy pictures which are to small for demanding uses.
Techniques & Technology I got my first camera (a Nikkormat) in 1965 and have been
taking pictures ever since. We took slides for many
years and then converted to film. We finally made the
move to digital and are still in the conversion process. This
and related sites are being built by converting our huge
collection of negatives to digital, editing them with Photoshop,
and building websites based on the pictures and our experiences
taking them. It's a lot of work so it will be a while
before these sites can be considered a finished project. We
think there is a lot to enjoy in the meantime through. |

Pictures & Proverbs
|
Proverbs are
strong, insightful statements which are still relevant
today. We like to combine pictures with a variety
of proverbs because the visual dimension can potentiate
the power of the written word. You can see our
work here. |
