If you will load your photos to a site like Flickr or Photobucket or Picasa and link back (paste in the URL in the thread then highlight it and click the "IMG" button at the top of the reply form) then we should be able to see your photos. Size them down to about 1000px wide and they will be a good size to see in a browser window.
