The Photos

Notes on the header images used on this website.

Masks in the Salzburg Castle Puppet Museum, 2022-05-26 (F.Potter)

Impetus for the Images. My niece, Zaidee (Potter) Jensen passed away in August 2012 because of a Light Rail Transit accident in Edmonton, Alberta. At that time, I set up a website so her two young children could learn more about the incident.

Zaidee was Fearless and Loved to Travel.

All the images are mine except for the last slide show which belonged to my father.  They also represent images that I would have liked Zaidee to have seen or experienced. 

View of the World in a 4:1 Aspect Ratio

The constraints of WordPress theme I am using makes for an interesting canvas.  The aspect ratio is 1000 by 288 pixels or about 4:1.  As a result, I keep an eye open for horizontally orientated images that also have good composition and substance. 

In the header, they are on a random rotation. You can also click through them via the following slide shows. They are loaded in chronological order taken.

Enjoy and Use – With Caveats

Hopefully you enjoy the images. You may use any image for non-commercial, non-profit purposes with the following conditions:

  1. It is not further modified without my permission.
  2. If there is a water mark, it is retained.
  3. The information metadata is retained.
  4. Attribution is given, e.g.: Image courtesy of Frank Potter via Creative Commons license.

If you want to use it for a commercial or money-making purpose, please contact me at Frank AT myorgbio.org. I don’t shoot in RAW format, but I have unprocessed versions.

Photo Library

Because hundreds of images are impossible to look through, they are broken into blocks of about 25 images and are organized reverse-chronologically. Despite my best efforts (and several days of work), the captions have not come through consistently. Apologies for a whole series reading ‘Undefined’. Scroll down or jump to one of the following categories of images:

  • A mountain rises in the background in a shark fin manner. It is framed by a Robin egg blue sky behind it.
