Baseball Photos - 2005
Here are the photos that I've taken through 04/23/05. ENJOY!!
I've grouped these by game and by team. Unfortunately, I don't have the time
to sort the photos by individual. I will prepare something similar to what I
did last year at the end of
the season but only for the Rangers.

How does one print photos?
There are a few ways to do this. First, you can just save the medium resolution
images from the website and print them yourself. Secondly, you can use Ofoto.com.
Each individual index page has a link to an Ofoto 'album'. Finally, you can ask
me for the uncropped, high-resolution digital photo. See the Technical Notes
at the bottom for more details.
How much does it cost to order prints?
Ofoto.com charges reasonable rates for prints (4 x 6 = $0.25, 5 x 7 = $1.00,
8 x 10 = $4.00, and a nominal fee for shipping). I do photography as a hobby
and am not trying to make any money preparing these photos. However, I would
be thrilled if this could be used as some sort of fundraising opportunity for
the league. If you're happy with what I've done and would like to show your
appreciation, please send a donation to the league on my behalf. You can send
donations to:
Centerville American Little League
Brad Kibbee (President)
P.O. Box 0403
Fremont, California 94537
The league has also provided a way to donate online -

Technical Notes
- The main photos on this site have been compressed to 1,000 pixels high (or
wide). This yields photos about 100-250 KB in size. My Internet provider limits
me to 384 Kbps upload. With a fast connection (i.e. DSL, cable Internet) it
will take about 3-4 seconds to download each photo.
- Ofoto.com: You don't need a login to ofoto to view the photos, but
you will need to login if you want to order any prints. I uploaded the full
resolution, uncropped photos. Ofoto now has a good tool that allows you to
crop as appropriate. Since the high resolution photos have been uploaded,
you can get the best resolution possible. I've printed 16 x 20 prints from
ofoto.com and have been happy with the results. The 8 x 10's are as sharp
as anything I've seen from film photos.
- Please feel free to email me
with any questions or special requests at vbacon@mybirdphotos.com. At worst,
it will take me a while to get to since I have to put my paying job first.
