William Neill Photography
 | William Neill, a long-time resident of Yosemite National Park, is a landscape photographer concerned with conveying the deep, spiritual beauty he sees and feels in Nature. From his extensive travels to India and the Himalayas, he developed a body of images that includes portraits, architecture and religious sites. |
Neill's award-winning photographs have been widely published in books, magazines, calendars, posters. Galleries and museums across the nation exhibit his limited-edition prints, including the Boston Museum of Fine Art and The Polaroid Collection. In 1995, the Sierra Club honored Neill with the Ansel Adams Award for conservation photography.

Sculpting Geometry
 | I'm an artist exploring the region between art and mathematics, and this is my gallery and storefront. My work is about life in three dimensions: working with symmetry and balance, getting from a zero point to infinity, and always finding beauty in geometry. |
Making Over Mona
| Mona Lisa is a classic vision of beauty and sensuality, but let's face it, after 500 years, who couldn't use a little "restoration"? Some Botox here, some collagen there, and she'll be looking centuries younger in no time ... Making Over Mona |

NASA's New Spaceship
Before the end of the next decade, NASA astronauts will again explore the surface of the moon. And this time, we're going to stay, building outposts and paving the way for eventual journeys to Mars and beyond. There are echoes of the iconic images of the past, but it won't be your grandfather's moon shot. | This journey begins soon, with development of a new spaceship. Building on the best of Apollo and shuttle technology, NASA's creating a 21st century exploration system that will be affordable, reliable, versatile, and safe. |
Languages of the World
| An encyclopedic reference work cataloging all of the world?s 6,912 known living languages. Due to the nature of language and the various perspectives brought to its study, it is not surprising that a number of issues prove controversial. Of preeminence in this regard is that of the definition of language itself. Since languages do not have self-identifying features, what actually constitutes a language must be operationally defined. That is, the definition of language one chooses depends on the purpose one has in identifying a language. Some base their definition on purely linguistic grounds. Others recognize that social, cultural, or political factors must also be taken into account. Ethnologue: Languages of the World. Als Beispiel Schwyzerdütsch. |

The Art of Philip Straub
 | Philip's luminous and meticulously detailed digital and traditional oil paintings have classical influences but are purely based on the fantastic. Many images are derived from the ever present surreal worlds that play out in his mind like lucid dreams throughout the day. His visions are inhabited by unique characters and filled with imaginative architecture and lush vegetation that seems to come to life, bursting with vibrant colors and dramatic lighting. Philip focuses on invoking an emotional response from his images through composition, color, light and subject matter. |
