A spacer only - the Buddha and the glamour poster ad

 

 

 

This is a spacer post - featuring one of the many, miscellaneous, random, images that I shot while shopping with Sujitha and Bhanu. Although I liked the humor and conflict in it, I did not use it because it did nothing to advance the story I was telling.

I use it now because I need a spacer. I have spent the last few hours working on the real post - Sujitha's henna session. It has many pictures in it, 24 total. The three preceding posts that would also be displayed on this page with it without a spacer post also feature many more than the usual number of pictures.

This is not a problem with for those with those with high-speed internect connections, but as I was reminded of several times in India and as I am reminded each time I go into Rural Alaska, such picture-heavy pages can be painfully sluggish to load on slow connections.

So I throw this single picture in solely to make a spacer post. Each full page that I put up carry's four posts on it. So this spacer will reduce the number of photos that need to be loaded on the pages it appears in by 23.

Understand? Or am I confusing you?

The real post, Sujitha's henna session, should follow this spacer by 15 or 20 minutes.
