After Kurt's death there was a memorial at Seattle Center. Thousands of people attended. This was after the ceremony, when people piled on top of the fountain. That mound in the middle, that is where the Seattle Center fountain is. I can't recall for sure, but I think they were playing Nirvana songs over the sound system.
I lined up a few of my 7" singles. I thought I'd start photographing them because
1) They're beautiful
2) If I burn down, the insurance company will know what I owned
3) They're sexy
I can stare lovingly at photographs of old 45s I've been collecting since I was a wee lad.
That's right, I was a wee lad!
In 1987 our church youth group did a tour to Pipestem, West Virginia, where we helped rehabilatate a youth camp at the Appalachian South Folklife Center.
That's me sitting on the step, far right, with the white t-shirt and my legs sticking out.
Remind me to tell you the story about the orchard and all of the 1970s clothing they had used as mulch. Short version: we pulled it all out, shook the dirt off of it and it still looked brand new! Even after being buried in an orchard for 10 years! The miracle of 100% dacron polyester!

Something so moved me about seeing Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) on the screen together again that I felt compelled to take a photo of them on my TV as I watched "Before Midnight"!
This trilogy of films, each about 9 years apart, including "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset", speak to me in a profound fashion. I cried at the end of film no. 2, "Before Sunset", overwhelmed with emotion at its beauty. Each film is a walking, rambling dialogue following these two characters as they wander some European cityscape. I feel hypnotized, transfixed, and right in the midst of Celine and Jesse’s story: their lives, their romance, their challenges and their generation, It's for sure one of the great celluloid romances of all time, smart and honest, intense, and made all the more moving by its "authentic", almost unscripted quality.
“Písac is a Peruvian village in the Sacred Valley on the Urubamba River. The village is well-known for its market every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, an event which attracts heavy tourist traffic from nearby Cusco.
One of its more notable features is a large pisonay tree which dominates the central plaza. The sanctuary of Huanca, site of a sacred shrine, is also near the village. Pilgrims travel to the shrine every September.
View of the Sacred Valley from Intihuatana. The Temple of the Sun was closed to tourists after thieves stole a piece of it.
The area is perhaps best known for its Incan ruins, known as Inca Písac, which lie atop a hill at the entrance to the valley. The ruins are separated along the ridge into four groups: Pisaqa, Intihuatana, Q'allaqasa, and Kinchiracay. Intihuatana (the Temple of the Sun) includes a number of baths and temples. Intihuatana, a volcanic outcrop carved into a "hitching post" for the Sun (or Inti), is the focus of the complex. The angles of its base suggest that it served some astronomical function. Q'allaqasa, which is built onto a natural spur and overlooks the valley, is known as the citadel.
The Inca constructed agricultural terraces on the steep hillside, which are still in use today. They created the terraces by hauling richer topsoil by hand from the lower lands. The terraces enabled the production of surplus food, more than would normally be possible at altitudes as high as 11,000 feet. The narrow rows of terraces beneath the citadel are thought to represent the wing of a partridge (pisaca), from which the village and ruins get their name. The birds are also common in the area at dusk.
With military, religious, and agricultural structures, the site served at least a triple purpose. Researchers believe that Písac defended the southern entrance to the Sacred Valley, while Choquequirao defended the western entrance, and the fortress at Ollantaytambo the northern. Inca Pisac controlled a route which connected the Inca Empire with the border of the rain forest.
History:
According to the scholar Kim MacQuarrie, Pachacuti erected a number of royal estates to memorialize victories over other ethnic groups. Among these royal estates are Písac (victory over the Cuyos), Ollantaytambo (victory over the Tambos) and Machu Picchu (conquest of the Vilcabamba Valley).[5] Other historians suggest that Písac was established to protect Cusco from possible attacks of the Antis nations. It is unknown when Inca Písac was built. Since it does not appear to have been inhabited by any pre-Inca civilization, it was most likely built no earlier than 1440.
The Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro and the conquistadores destroyed Inca Písac in the early 1530s. The modern town of Písac was built in the valley by Viceroy Toledo during the 1570s.”

Never mind the Pooh Bear and the Shawn Cassidy t-shirt. Really we were bad asses.
I'm taking a training course at work today called "Leading Generations X and Next."
It's aimed at baby boomer middle managers who increasingly have to manage younger, tech-savvy people as they are graduating college over the last 10 years. According to the definitions set forth in this training I qualify as both Gen X and as a 'nexter'...I have to say I'm pretty appalled at the portrait they're painting of my age bracket.
According to this training, I:
• Have have been overly nurtured.
• Am 'untainted' by years of work and am easily exploited.
• Am unable to work with out dated tools.
• Have strong, unbending values and am thick-headed.
• Have been sheltered from making decisions my whole life.
• Prefer to make collaborative decisions, unable to make choices alone.
• Am unable to make connections on my own and I must be introduced to everyone.
Here is a handy tip provided by the training: "When Gen X and Nexters have to deal with difficult people in my company are easily shaken up and will need assistance"
Really? I cannot believe this is how managers are being taught to manage up and comers. While I agree that some of this stuff may be accurate for anyone, broadly applying this to a whole age group and training the old guard that this is how everyone younger then them operates seems almost malicious.
Bah.
1991 magazine ad for Nirvana's monster hit "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
The unexpected success propelled Nevermind to the top of the charts at the start of 1992, an event often marked as the point where alternative music entered the mainstream.
The song was dubbed an "anthem for Generation X" but the band grew uncomfortable with the attention it brought them. In the years since Kurt Cobain's death, listeners and critics have continued to praise "Smells Like Teen Spirit" as one of the greatest songs in the history of rock music.
We were surprised to find out that you can still smoke on the restaurant patio in oHIo.
Here we are at the Winking Lizard in Akron. We visited several of the Winking Lizard's during our holiday. The food was good and they have a huge selection of beers.
We also discovered by talking to the manager of this Winking Lizard. Ken Grossman of Sierra Nevada Brewery here in Chico, sponsors a lot of events for them.
Day 04 • Cooske Creek to Punta Gorda Lighthouse
Our last night on the trail, hiding from the gale force winds in the Punta Gorda Lighthouse's fuel storage building. Long ago abandoned and now an historic site.
The winds were so strong and it was butt cold. We chilled in the tent with red wine and an episode of This American Life.
Last night at the fair the woman in the ticket booth asked me "Are you over 60?"
I blamed it on my hair being pulled up and all its silver glory on full display, but she was older than me and should have known better. "No." I said almost laughing and slightly appalled. There's nothing wrong with 60 but I have 14 more years to go to get there.
"I was just trying to save you some money, " she shrugged.
Later at Safeway getting groceries after the fair the cashier looked at us when we bought wine and said, "You're over 21, right?", swinging the pendulum back and somehow correcting for the age comment earlier in the night.
Nirvana were the most influential band to me. Wanted to do some picture along these lines. The Reading festival in 1992 is one of the best shows that I've seen, so i chose that particular show as the inspiration. Also, much inspiration to charles peterson, whos images are legendary.
here's an example of the kind of shot I was attempting.
