Welcome to the Brotzman Family Album, Version 0.2

This is an early draft of the first edition of the Brotzman family album. This is most definitely a work-in-progress. It is here only as an example of the direction I am heading. Directions change. Constructive criticism is welcome.

The photos shown here were scanned in by Steve Brotzman. I've finished the first sort, which moved all 250 or so pictures into the major categories you see here. Now comes the hard part: sorting the pictures in each category into a nice coherent gallery. I have additional personal photos of Steve's and others from John Brotzman and Tom Ennis that I am working on, too. It's gonna be a while before this is done, folks.

The first time through the album, I strongly recommend scrolling through the pictures and taking your time to browse. Click on any of the small images to see the full size photograph. Use the browser "Back" button to return to the album. Once you've seen everything, you can use the index in the left column. Click on a category title and you'll shoot right to that category.
