:: Photo Gallery ::
The gallery is broken up into three sections, the largest
being the South Island gallery. Once again, do not hotlink
my images. Do not take them for use in icons, manips,
whatever. I say that knowing people will do it anyway. Contact
me, huh? Much money spent here, seriously.
By the by, if the guy who processed my photos and picture
CDs stumbles on this page, I just want to say a big huge thank
you! You have no idea how much easier you made this project.
Feel free to contact me!
