Website Navigation Tips
- Use the Prev and Next buttons on the pages to move to the next page in a sequence. Their behavior is based on the context.
- Move the cursor over the Gray Buttons (Main, 1, 2, etc.) above an image, when present, for alternate views.
- The UNITED STATES MAP is an easy way to navigate to ghost signs.
- Please read the DETAILED DESCRIPTION of how I shoot signs or you may be surprised when you see them 'in the wild' with all of the clutter in front of them.

24 July 2012

- -------------
- These web pages are generated using C++ code which I wrote. It would be impossible to maintain all of the hyperlinks unless I used a coding method.
