ABOUT THE SITE
28 Dec 99

I designed Keiko Natural Images as a forum for displaying my photography. As much as anyone else who has been living through the end of this century, I've used the World Wide Web as a major source of photography information and inspiration. Honestly, all of the photography Web sites I've reviewed have simply been incredible. I especially admire the great variety of work that's presented in this form. To say I'm impressed and inspired is an understatement. So, with some trepidation, I've created Keiko Natural Images as my foray into this expanding field. Hopefully, you'll find the time you spend with my work and this site worthwhile.

Like anything else that maintains some value through time, this site will undergo constant review and update. Not everything will be in the same location. I'll make changes to fix mistakes and integrate new things as time goes on. I've always believed that being stagnant is the same as standing around with one foot in your grave. I'll try to keep the changes minor enough to avoid losing any of you.

If you're wondering, this site was not named after some large aquatic mammal or anything of the sort. In fact, I hadn't noticed the relation until trying to reserve my Web address when I discovered that WWW.Keiko.Com was already reserved for future use by another organization. Keiko was my mother's name. Unfortunately, she passed on more than 20 years ago and in a sense this site is a tribute to her, the beliefs she held, and the life training she gave me. There's a lot of art in this site, which I hope demonstrates an active right brain. Being a natural born engineering geek, my artistic endeavors are a tribute to my mother and her training. I hope you recognize that as you cruise through the site.
