Jamestown photos finally up!

Hi all,

I have finally just completed loading the Jamestown photos from our trip to my website. Our county's Title 7 group took a trip last weekend to see the 400 year commemoration for ourselves. It is Jamestown 1607 - 2007.

Since I was there as one of the chaperones to kids of all ages, some of the photos may not be absolutely top quality (go figure), but I think they will still be worth 1000 words if you are a teacher explaining history to students. There are photos of the Native American town, and the English settlement.

My "storefront" shutterfly site doesn't allow for much text explanation, so I plan to explain as much as I know when I get my "viewing" site online at [url="http://www.smaxphotos.com"]www.smaxphotos.com[/url] but this will be a month or so away. Also, I'm a reading teacher, not a history teacher (history buff, yes, history expert - no!), so what I will further explain on that site is simply from what the reenactors told us during the visit and any other research I have done on my own.

As always, you can purchase (I included 4x6 options) for your classroom, or simply view. The best way to view is to click on View as Slideshow on the right once in the Jamestown album. Obviously, you can also set this up to have students view this in your classroom, which may help if you are teaching history. I'd recommend bookmarking the site since the URL is very long.

In the next few weeks, I'll be adding some Christmas color patterns and some different color palettes for the Creative Art and Blankets & Medallions album. Also, I spent the most lovely morning with a colleague taking photos of her Yorkies yesterday. They are the ones that are already in the Dogs album. She invited over the sister of one of her Yorkies, and I snapped away at all 3 little dogs. She also has a large, beautiful farm in rural NC and I got some shots of old cabins on her property as well as her two big lab type dogs that accompanied us on the jaunt around her farm. So the Dogs album will also be updated in a few weeks.

I hope the Jamestown photos are of use to some of you out there!

The 2 links in your message do not take me to what I think I'm looking for ...

Hi Tom,

Not sure which link you are talking about. The [url="http://www.smaxphotos.com"]www.smaxphotos.com[/url] one that I mentioned in the body of my post is the future "viewing site" of my photos that I am working on. I'm still trying to get that website up and running.

To view the Jamestown (and the other) photos now, you need to click on the link in my signature, below my name. That site is my "storefront", my selling site run by shutterfly. Once there, scroll down to the Jamestown photos (or whatever else you like).

I just tried the link below my signature and it worked fine for me. I'll put it again here and we'll see if that helps: [url]http://www.shutterfly.com/pro/smaxphotos/maingallery[/url]
