I get to make a difference in a positive way if at all possible.

    Hey B, thanks for the compliment on the pics. All you have to do to get started is click on HOME. There is a link/button on the homepage that will allow you to download pics. After you get 1 downloaded, then you can do it off your page. The "slideshow" works automatically. Stay safe.
