Me and a dear old friend of mine i met back when i was 18 years old (going on 14 years ago when i met him, me going on 32 him 31) a friend of mine that i hung out with almost every day till i was about 21, he met some guy and moved to spain, but maybe saw each other here and there, and finally he is single and i can hang out with him again.... yay cuz he was so much fun to hang out with......
I thought I had uploaded this some time ago but don't seem to have. This is my Dad, two years into the job, performing a sobriety test.
This is Sneaky Pete... he was in a bar and Mikey asked him what he was supposed to be... he said "A skinny fat fuck". Needless to say, we bonded immediately. Pete ended up taking us to all the local spots (he lived here) and everyone knew him. It was pretty cool. He even got us past lines to get into places... thanks for the good time Sneaky Pete!

All I remember about this guy is that he was from Austria, and named maybe Josef or Thomas? I met him at Kai Whaka Pai in the morning and we went cragging at some schist crag in a sheep field. Fun route. This was a 16 or 17 methinks. Can't remember the name of the route.
EDIT: some internet research shows this is Roadside Crag. still searching for the route name
chuck was my second kid. then i got a third one, a preemie. i think his name was christopher. i wasn't spoiled at all. i promise.
Wool wall quilt. Another scan of a quilt slide from when I was making these professionally. The basis of this one is a traditional eight pointed star, a favorite pattern of mine.
Approximately 54" wide x 30" high
I can't remember what year this was...but he must have been about 4 or maybe 5? ...floating around georgia strait, off powell river, looking for seals.
and today he's 19.... adulthood is here...cheers!
Sad to see this old factory abandoned and grown over with weeds. The Delta of the ArkLaMiss was at one time a prosperous area of the South with the crops grown in their rich soil. I think this old plant had something to do with agriculture, maybe Cotton.
Mikey and I went to NYC in Oct 08. We met this guy in a small pub in East greenwich village, which was by far our favorite spot on the island. We started chatting it up and found out we were both from the Burgh.. he ended up buying us Whiskey shots, so we returned the favor... we were so shit faced on the subway back to our hotel we were being those assholes... people must have thought we were crazy or from there cause nobody fucked with us. This was a great bar.
first flush from my minolta srt201.
sooc.
this is actually a first runner up trophy from a pageant that i was in back in the day.
Back when it was cool to shoot calculators...I shot a lot of them. It's as much about presentation as anything else...I captured the film strip as the main shot and put cutouts of additional calculator shots on the mat.
Again, these are all pictures I shot way back when....over 15 years ago...that all won some type of award or recognition. I found the last time I was at my parents house a couple weeks ago and they brought back SUCH memories. Ah the good ol days - when the word "digital" was unheard of, we all had to be really careful about how many times we clicked because film cost money, we had to know the purpose and function of every button on the camera, nothing was easy, there was no manipulation on a computer, you had to lock yourself in a tiny pitch black hole to get your film on a spinning reel (which was the hardest thing to do - one time it took me a whole hour!), the dark room was the "coolest" place to be, black and white was the way to go because color machines were WAY too expensive, techniques to pictures were done with chemicals, hand manipulations or dark room accidents, sepia was a chemical not a button, there was no need to smoke anyhing because the fumes from the chemicals causes enough giddiness, and there was an assembly line for photo processing in public dark rooms, contact paper was king, matting was hard work and corners always suffered...or your finger suffered, physical presentation mattered just as much as the quality of the photo, .....should I keep going? I hope people are getting nostaligic WITH me....rather than saying - my GOD she is old!!! :-) Anyway, these prints are still in good shape so I thought I would digitally capture them with and without the matting so they stay "alive" forever! HAIL the good ol days - I would bring them back in a heartbeat. I still want a dark room in my basement one day!
An old photograph taken with a borrowed Canon EOS 300D before I got my own digital camera. This is my old Canon EOS 5, with a rented Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L (the old, non-IS version).
The EOS 5 was (is) a truely wonderful camera. It handels well, feels right in the hand, and gave me some great results. I sometimes think I should go back to film...
