About This Page

Graphics on this page were hand crafted from scratch and from other graphics by Martha Decker on a Dell 8300 using Corel Photo Paint and Paint Shop Pro. The page itself was created using Hot Dog Pro 7.03 for Windows. If you are interested in using any of my graphics, please send an email to the autoresponder Graphics@deckernet.com for permission.

This page was developed on a computer running at 1280x1024 resolution at 65K colors. If you are running at a different resolution or color depth, things might not look as intended. I HIGHLY recommend that you run at least 65K colors. The Web will look dramatically different to you - I guarantee it!

All photographs on this page are Copyright 2001 - Martha Decker. Feel free to use them for personal use only - no commercial use without permission.

Photos were shot with a Pentax ME camera using Takumar 80-200mm zoom and 35-70mm zoom lenses using Kodak ASA 200 film. Images were scanned from photos into Jasc's Paint Shop Pro using a Visioneer Paper Port One Touch scanner.

The background tile on this page was derived from a photograph I took of a Loon on Northstar Lake in Marcell, Minnesota - about twenty-five miles north of Grand Rapids in the Chippewa National Forest.

The Minnesota logo on this page was created from a Minnesota map image that I found in AOL's ABC News forum.
