I started this page just to aggregate links to spider photos, insects and underwater photos. Recently someone asked if I had been interested in spiders all my life. I realized that new my curiosity about spiders was ignited by digital cameras. For the first time, I could take a photo and see the results and rapidly learn while doing without the expense of developing and waiting. My poor memory made good photos an unlikely event because of the delay between taking the photo and processing the photo. The digital era reduces the feedback time to zero - making learning both rapid and fun. Spiders provided a challenge - they move, they are sometimes small, and often their behavior is limited to dawn and dusk when low light conditions prevail. Below are the results.
