Image Magic

(If you want to know what images of Gretchen Egolf I actually have, here's a list.)

I suppose you're wondering what this page is for. Well, I needed to replace my monitor, and suddenly I went from having a dark-as-hell monitor to one that I need to keep the brightness cranked all the way down on to match the old one's maxed-out "fry" setting.

And I finally realized how badly washed-out these images are! So I decided to fix 'em. Of course, what about the poor dark-monitor people who used to enjoy this site? Well, I'm turning traitor.:)

But not entirely. All 200%-gammaed images are now down to 150%, as a compromise. And I've provided the originals on this page. Of course, that poses a problem.

A week before, I'd revisited Crashdown.com and realized that they have an image-borrowing policy. Which I'd completely missed. (Ah, even we non-newbies could benefit from more FAQ reading.)

So, technically, I've stolen a lot of this stuff. The stuff on my main pages has been replaced with things I appropriated myself which don't look as good, but at least I can use them with the complete lack of concern I normally show. But, for completeness, I've put the Crashdown.com's here with the rest. Links are to the original images, most of the time.

You know, I just realized that, taken like this, these images are kind of disturbing. Like having a lot of pictures of a person up on a bulletin board in your bedroom or something. I think I'll go hide somewhere and try avoid my darker nature.

For the ALT-tag nearsighted, I've included the ALT tags as italicized text. For the people who like menus getting in their way, I've included the following index. Or, you could just skip it. (New images are next door.)

    Rating: Argh! (Martial Law, 1999ish)
    Rating: An Improvement - but that's not hard. (Martial Law, 1999ish)
    Rating: Now We're Getting Somewhere. (Nicolas, mid/late 2000ish)
    Rating: Hey, Not Bad! - unless she gets blindsided. (Roswell episode "Ask Not", 2000ish)
    Rating: Kind Of Plain, but considering the environment.... (Roswell episode "Harvest", apparently Los Angeles, September 22, 2000)
    Rating: Rather Nice - but it was taken not long after that first Roswell one. (Roswell episode "Surprise", 2000ish)

    The biggest sparkler you'd ever hope to find. (Roswell episode "Surprise", 2000ish)
    The biggest firework you'd ever hope to find. (Roswell episode "Surprise", 2000ish)
    She's cute when she's being evil. (Roswell episode "Surprise", 2000ish)
    I know what they've been doing together (almost daily) for over a year now....* (Helman Gallery Party, NYC, September 6, 2000)

* Sharing living expenses, like all married couples. What did you think I meant?

    Your dramatic half-lighting is powerless against my excessive gamma correction! (Roswell episode "Skin and Bones", 2000ish)
    It's a framing piece. What do you want for free? (Roswell episode "Surprise", 2000ish)
    I stole this from MarcusGraham.net but Marcus isn't even in the shot! (Nicolas, mid/late 2000ish)
    Congresswoman Vanessa Whitaker takes a moment to lament the loss of her boyfriend. Of course, she's the one who killed him. (Roswell episode "Ask Not", 2000ish)
    The problem with a picture of someone facing left and looking right (at least, if the JPEG compression didn't make 'em look cock-eyed) is that it doesn't look good as a framing piece to the left or the right. (Roswell episode "Surprise", 2000ish)
    The classic you're-a-voter-so-I-have-to-smile smile. (Roswell episode "Surprise", 2000ish)
    Color. I'd like color. And better resolution. And more hip showing. (More Lies About Jerzy, very early 2001)

Hey, how'd this Gretchen-free shot sneak in? (Martial Law, 1999ish)

These three didn't change at all, but I'm a completist twit.:)

I forget where I got these from. If you know, keep it to yourself. I'm too lazy to update this page.:)

(Stolen from MarcusGraham.net.)

These are the misappropriated Crashdown.com shots.

Cute, drunk, and completely blinded to her right. Oooh, baby.

Insert dumb 4th of July joke here.

I didn't need to gamma this one up. No wonder!

She's really not breathing! Oh, it's a still shot, never mind.

This pic is here for the cute factor.

I can't think of anything witty to write.

(Not enough room for a decent ALT tag.:)

More cute factor.

Mingling with her oversensitive baboon voters.

And here's the miscellaneous stuff.

So cold of me to cut Jason Connery out of the shot!
(Also stolen from MarcusGraham.net. I think.)

Really sexy. Gretchen isn't looking bad either.
(This image of Mr. and Mrs. ~~Egolf~~ Phillips courtesy of PopPortraits.com. Here's hoping they don't find out I stole it.)

Evil and gamma-corrected. Oooh.
(This image stolen from a subpage of "A Galaxy Far Away". Don't ask me how I keep these things straight.)

I'd give a small portion of blood to have the negatives for this one.
(This image nicked from CurtainUp. Wheee.)

(Still no room for an ALT tag. And I forgot where I stole it from. All I know is that it was an uphill fight to find it.)

And, of course, the one and only 100% Gretchen Egolf free shot on in this entire place:

Sammo, Walker, and Mar-uh, P.J.

Go back! Back I say!
Go back EVEN FURTHER!
Run along home.
