Origins Of Kept Light Photography

Kept Light Photography goes back to 1999 when I started a very simple Web site with a few pages. For a couple of years, it remained like that with static content. But, at that time, visitors to Web sites were very few, only some friends came and looked at them. Look at the origins of Kept Light Photography Web site.

If you visit, please forgive the non-working Gallery link and its very narrow layout. Hard to believe now, but then, the best monitor resolution was 800 x 600 and most were 640×480 pixels!

Origins Go Back to 2003

Origins: My simple photography site before it became Kept Light Photography

Around 2003, I started adding more content. And in 2004 added a gallery of photographs from my highly popular and successful exhibit, On Seeing. The content was hand-coded in HTML, and I kept it on a campus server at Providence College. As I started to experiment with WordPress, a photography site was a natural candidate. I registered my domain name, keptlight.com, and started using an outside hosting company.

Since around 2003 or 2004, Kept Light Photography has had tens of thousands of visitors from all over the world, and I added significantly more content. As of October 2020, there were well over 700 posts, including the very first few articles that carry the date of 2003 and 2004. I hope that you spend a little time exploring the site and find content that may be of interest to you.

Thank you for visiting Kept Light Photography.
