Maxwell Balmain PHOTOGRAPHS is the companion site to Balmain PHOTOGRAPHY
This site is a more informal place to post work that is more personal, experimental and hopefully fun. Along with photographs that did not make it to the more commercial www.balmainphotography.com site, viewers will find experimental work, web development, some old stuff, and yes, even a few silly pet pictures.
web development
Web development is becoming a growing interest for me. I spend countless hours playing with web standards design, CSS and my photographic images. This page uses Web Standard design, CSS and some Photoshop PNG graphics.
UNFORTUNATELY Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 does a lousy job of displaying web standards based sites. IE also has major issues with displaying PNG files and files with alpa transparency layers. This frustration even has its own accronym: IDWIMIE - It Doesn't Work In Microsoft Interent Explorer. Interent Explorer is frozen in a non-standards past but the majority of web surfers use Windows and IE6. The simple transparency effect I use on the Home page for this site will suddenly "reveal" themselves once viewers switch from IE to a modern standards compliant browser like Firefox.
still a "work in progress..."
This site is really still under development as the saying goes. Its a place to link test sites and mess around. Hopefully, with time, it will grow into something...
