Websites are invisible consumers of energy, and crisp, clear images consume the most. By default, our images load in low resolution to lighten our website's energy load. To see an image in full resolution, or to toggle between lo- and hi-res modes, click the icon at the top right hand corner.
Bypass lo-res images altogether by selecting “Load All Full-Res” here or in the footer of any page on the site.
