My research?




I want to get to the bottom of everything that interests me. I also want to have my site be as successful as possible. I feel that understanding is the key to success in all of life's endeavors.

The reason I chose to design it myself, was to have control over how it looks and how it works. I develop and print my reference photos for the same reason.

Although the investment in time and effort was great, it was worth it since I learned so much. I feel my site has a unique look that reflects my sensibilities completely. I can add, subtract and alter it at a moment's notice.

I have spent countless hours searching site design and statistical analysis on the web. I don't really document my "research" for I have no plans to write a book or publish a paper in the scientific community. I just read as much as I can and apply what makes the most sense to me.

Maybe one day I'll teach a class on all I've learned, but truthfully, I enjoy painting so much more, both the doing and the teaching, and find it far more satisfying. Painting is infinitely more complex and intriguing than web design, at least in my book.
