We have tried to make this site fast and easy to use by utilizing many different descriptive yet invisible "keywords" embedded in the photo files. You can browse through many galleries that we have already set up for you that include broad subjects, locations, and colors; do easy or advanced searches to refine your gallery views; and even make up a gallery of your favorite photos. Sometimes one method will work better than another - play around and have fun and see what works best for you.

Find a gallery using one of the following methods, then click on a thumbnail - this will show you a larger image, a description of the photo, and allow you to order prints or license a photo.

SELECT A GALLERY TO GO TO drop-down menu. The drop-down menu in the upper right corner of every page here lists all of the available galleries. Select one of the galleries and then click the "Go To" button.

HOME PAGE CATEGORIES. Click on the "Home" button and you will find a thumbnail and title for each of the major categories of galleries. Click on one of these and all the galleries in that category will appear. This is the quickest way to see all the galleries for an individual photographer for example, or to see all the Arkansas Photos galleries, or all the Colors, etc.

SEARCH. The simple "Search Our Photos" button in the upper left hand corner of each page is actually quite powerful. Type in any word or combination of words (all small letters with no punctuation) and any photograph on the entire site that contains all of those words as keywords or in the description will appear.

ADVANCED SEARCH. Click this selection in the menu bar above and you will be presented with many options to help you refine your search, plus you will be able to see and click on all keywords (keywords do not include text from the description).

MY FAVORITES. If you have saved some images to your "My Favorites" gallery (see below) just click on "My Favorites" in the menu bar above and all those you picked will fill the page.

ONCE YOU SELECT A GALLERY to view or launch a search your page will begin to fill with thumbnails - up to about 100 photos on each page. There is an "Add to favorites" checkbox under each thumbnail - click on this box for each photo that you want to be added to your personal gallery - but before you leave that page you MUST go to the bottom of the page and click on "Add Selected To My Favorites" and this will add each of the thumbnails that you selected to your own personal gallery that you can view later on. You can click as many as you like. Click on any thumbnail to see an enlarged version of it along with description information. Below the enlarged photo you will find drop-down menus that will allow you to order fine art canvas or traditional photographic prints, or place a "Simple Stock" order to license a photo for use on your computer or in publications.

WHAT PHOTOGRAPHER TOOK THE PICTURE? If you are browsing the general galleries or do a custom search just look at the first three letters of the photo title/file name beneath each thumbnail - TJE is Tim Ernst, RLS is Ray Scott, and JEM is Jay McDonald.
