Robert Liebermann Photographs

I dig photography,as described elsewhere (ideas, 2-bit philosophy), and another elsewhere (cameras, film, etc.). It helps me see stuff that goes unnoticed, look at things closer, appreciate light, and generally relate somewhat to the world. I can't sing, or write, or play the piano, or paint, or anything else, so I try to communicate a little with my photos, even if only to myself.

Here are some of my pictures from various beautiful and/or interesting and/or colorful (or monochromey-contrasty) places.

Latest additions:

March 2012 - added 195 photos of or closely related to Lake Superior stone and rock. This was a request by a Northern Michigan University theatre professor to be used in a play, the pictures to be projected over the readers. I'm not sure if she needed all 195, but I had fun selecting them.

Early 2011: Added (or at least started) some sets in Alaska - Eureka Dome and Fox. Last week added more Lake Baikal and Listvyanka, Crimea, USSR, and weird mini-camera photo pages, scanned prints from a class I took a couple years ago at University of Alaska Fairbanks, and added some more unsorted ones.

About the index pages:

Most index pages have 12-16 photos to keep initial load times reasonable, but the design of most pages loads the larger size versions in the background, and that might be a few mb, so if you're on a slow cx, you might have to wait a little for them to arrive (I figure most internet's halfway fast now, and use my very slow US Gov connection at work - the Gov connexions are always slow - as the low-fi test standard).

All big size images are from 600 - 1100 pixels on long side, and usually 50-300k or so; sometimes there's a 3rd level link from the big photo; those might be 500-1000k. As the web evolved, the ones I've added more recently are bigger than those added earlier. There's also file size creep, I admit, as I hate to see them get all jpeggy distorted, so I tend to save files increasingly larger as things move along.

The pages are always getting edited, so might be a little messed up in various ways. For instance, instead of the 'new photos' assortment pages, as I was doing for a while, I've started to just add new stuff to their thematic pages even if there's only one or two. So if you get pages some gray squares, that's because they're blanks until I add something there.

If you want even bigger copie$, or any cu$tom scans, print$, or stock right$, let me know, of cour$e.
