Eckels Island on the Net

Welcome to the main page of my conglomeration of websites that allow me to have an outlet and a way to share my interests with those out there at other locations on the planet's surface. If there are folks out there surfing the net who aren't connected to Earth in some way....well then let me be the first to welcome you life forms too! :-D

What you'll find here are mostly amateur quality websites that relate to the things that interest me and consume the hours of the day when I'm not working, sleeping, or eating....

To get an informed overview of everything here, click on the big blue question mark over on the left side, or if you're more the "devil may care" type just click on any one of the icons to explore that particular area. Not are the icons are operational yet, but they will be eventually, as time allows.

Have fun exploring and feel free to leave a comment if you're so inclined.

New Content

12/1/08 - Since the last time I wrote here last March I've been busy with both my YBR and TC's Old & New Music Review blogs along with the ongoing search for a decent place to exhibit my camera work, such as it is these days.

Well, I'm here to say that I finally found what looks to be a excellent site. So I've taken a leap of faith and spent hard earned dollars to purchased a one year subscription to SmugMug. SmugMug seems to have their act together and among many interesting features the one that sold me was the full screen slideshow, which really makes it enjoyable to view the pics.

So now, if you click on the Sheltie, or Car Show icons you'll have links available to take you directly to those galleries in SmugMug that relate directly to those subjects. Clicking on the Grand Haven Lighthouse icon in the top right corner will take you to my home page on SmugMug and from there you can choose to view the snapshots from my travels, or my "serious" work.

While today there's not a lot of content to view the plan during the next 4 or 5 cold weather months is to add as many images in all my areas of interest as time will allow.

That's all for now....enjoy your springtime!
