Sometimes you have to look in the shadows to find the essentials.

Besides serving as a vehicle for promoting our work, this site became a learning project to teach me HTML and Photoshop. In deference to the large number of older browsers still out there, I've attempted to make this site as middle-of-the-road as possible. That's why you'll see no frames, plug-ins, or DHTML. But the "middle-of-the-road," of course, is constantly shifting, and we hope this site will shift with it.
