Oh man.. you're a really bad photographer, I mean really really bad! Your
pictures are composed of 10 x 10 pixels, saved as JPG, and weigh over
500kB, encoded! Once shrunken to screen resolution, it's clear your
pictures are shot at odd angles, out of focus, and encoded with terrible
color loss!

Here's three tips to draw from. I did:
- Shrink by 10x
- Sharpen out-of-focus pictures (not much help)
- Reduce to 16 colors (the additional loss of color depth is a moot point)
- Optionally, tweak palette (the gray in two pics was too bright)
- Save as 16-color GIF
- Post in all of what... 25 kilobytes?
And guess what, all these steps actually *salvage* the crap you posted. If
you had merely reduced the original photos and posted them, you could avoid
this flaming reply quite easily!

The other trick is to get far away, 3 feet or so, zoom in, and use a
tripod or equivalent to stabilize the camera. Then use Irfanview to
tweak and resize. This one has a lot of info in 85 kbytes.
