Karibu !

     This is the FINAL version of our Africa Raw Image Collection ( further "Collection" ). It contains all my images ( excluding unfocused, moved or bad ) as well as the images I selected from other authors' collections.

     Now I have enough photo/movie materials, and I am turning to working on the website. This collection will be a base for creating the website.

     Here is the link to the website being under construction.

     The final version of the Collection contains 1734 images and 6 movies.

     The website will contain about 300 images ( 15-20 images for each day ).

     The images in the Collection are not commented, just numbered. Each number is preceded by the letter indicating the author.
     P -- Kostea
     A -- Alex
     M -- Madeleine
     S -- Shane
     Z -- Zina
     The number of images from each person follow the corresponding date. For example : "2006 Dec 28 ( K46+A4+S2+Z3=55 )" means that for this date I have 46 images from Kostea, 4 images from Alex, 2 images from Shane, images from Zina, and 55 images total.

     The images are sorted by date. The dimension of thumbnails is 300x224 pixels. The dimension of most images is 800x600 pixels while some of them are smaller; none of the images has size exceeding 200KB.

     You are welcome to view, open and download any images.
     To open the image : double-click on the thumbnail.
     To download the image : open it, right-click on it, and then choose "save picture as...".
     Once you have any image opened, you can navigate through the images of current day using "Prev" and "Next" buttons located on the top of the image.

     The original size images are available upon request from the author.

     Some dates contain rather many images. Opening such dates you may encounter the warning from Internet Explorer that the script may cause it to run slowly. Answer "No" to the question whether you want to abort the script.

     The following table reflects the number of images in the Collection by dates and by authors :

     Please notice that this collection is NOT the website I am going to create. The website will contain the complete comments, the full story, and much less images. Creation of such website will take unpredictable time ( may be weeks or months ) although I will try to complete it as soon as I can.
