Earlier Pictures
I'm also planning to post my pictures from my trip to England, Scotland, and Wales in 1994.

Welcome to the King's Photo Gallery.

Please select a group of photos from the selection bar to the left.  Each section will display thumbnail pictures for the selected grouping. Clicking on the thumbnail will display the larger size version of the selected photo.

If you see a picture you like, make a note of the name and let us know by sending an E-mail to me at "doug at dougnet.com"!


For best picture viewing, adjust your monitor so the gray-scale bar below gradually fades from black to white (originally snagged from http://world.std.com/~hyun/gallery, now located at http://poryadok.xaoc.net/gallery/). I particular, you should just be able to discern the difference between the first and second squares to ensure your monitor brightness isn't set too high or too low.


 If you'd like to be notified when new pictures of the family are posted, send an E-mail to me at "doug at dougnet.com" and I'll add you to the notification list.

7/21/2009     Well, I'm 10 days shy of it being a full year since I posted pictures it would seem. Is that possible? I have just uploaded some to Flickr to try that out (my brother works there too). I will probably try to continue to maintain this site for a while longer though.

7/10/2004    Added pictures from the last trip to Oswego for the Fourth of July, as well as pictures I haven't gotten around to posting from June.

You shouldn't see any difference when browsing the pictures, but if you find any broken links.... please let me know!

4/25/2004    Added pictures from the last trip to Oswego for Mike and Maureen's 30th Birthday and Easter.

4/16/2004 - 4/24/2004    Note: The website has been up and down a lot for the past week. My old hosting provider went out of business, and apparently tried to scam some people out of money first. I seem to have a reliable provider now, but my E-Mail still isn't working correctly. 

3/26/2004    Lot's of updates again. Abby's Birthday in Oswego and at home in Albany, St. Patrick's Day, and more.

2/29/2004    Wow... it's been way too long. I tried using photosite... and had posted some pictures there, but let me demo expire. I will be re-posting those in my old stand-by format here. Check out my Father's photosite though, as he has a lot of pictures posted of the kids around Christams time with his new digital camera. Anyway, I'm posting a bunch of pictures tonight, with even more to come in the next couple of days.

12/7/2003    It's been almost another month but I finally... more pictures. Some are from last weekend and some from this weekend.

11/10/2003    It's been a month but I finally got around to posting some pictures. Some before Halloween, some of Halloween, and some since then. Over 60 pictures, so I split them into two groups.

7/21/2003    Just picked up film and had it put on photo-cd, so those are posted now. It was a photo-shot of Abby primarily. A few good ones in the bunch. Also, since I now have plenty of space on my upgraded web site, I put back all the pictures from 2001 and earlier that had been removed in March to free up disk space. Everything is back now.

7/20/2003    Another set of pictures from the Ohio trip (at the pool at the hotel) that were still on the camera, and a picture of Lindsay and her friend Kris during their visit lat weekend.

6/19/2003    Posted pictures Maureen took of Abby and of Evan holding and feeding Abby!

6/8/2003    Posted some pictures Maureen took of the kids, as well as pictures from this weekend (mostly today at Jeff's first confirmation party).

4/6/2003    The ice storm. Yeah, not as bad as it was in Oswego... but still a lot of ice. If it weren't for the damage and the 12 hours without power it would have been nice. Also some pictures of Abby getting two different baths, using her new swing yesterday, and a few other poses.

3/23/2003    Posted some pictures Arlene has taken recently (Rachel, and of Evan & Abby... and their former green car). Just posted pictures from this weekend as well, including some of Abby and Rachel together, Tim's Birthday, and more...

3/17/2003    Due to popular demand, finally posted some more pictures of Abby (and Evan).

3/13/2003    Unfortunately, due to space constraints on my web site with my hosting provider, I need to start removing some of the older content (2001 and earlier) to make room for the new. For now it won't be available, at some point I may either pay for more space or host the older "archives" on one of my own systems which might not be available 100% of the time as the current site is. If there is something you're missing, let me know. I have everything saved of course! Also updating the annoying background so the type is legible.

3/9/2003    Not surprisingly... even more pictures of Abby... A set from two days ago, yesterday, and a set from today... coming home.

3/6/2003    More pictures of Abigail Kathryn... and I'm even in a bunch of them. How'd that happen?
