1. Microsoft used a Monarch butterfly image they found
on my website, on their television commercial for the Internet Explorer.

Photography's Annual Contest, and can be seen in the January 1995 issue.

Magazine (a magazine specializing in RV travel).
5. A Miami skyline image was published in a research paper from Columbia University called
