Canadian Geese at Sunset on Collins Lake in Scotia, NY (Schenectady County). Some really cool light with the setting sun hitting the water. I didn't really do much post here and this was taken with my manual Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 AI-S lens.

Tommy V and the Works at Freedom Park in Scotia, NY.

Terri and Diane at our high school graduation, which took place at Union College in Schenectady.

Carol Scipione at our high school graduation.

Could she look any more '80s? Or any more cute?

 

My mom's old house in Scotia, NY.

Lisa Reynolds, Paul Cremo, Louise Simoni, and the token "cool teacher," Bruce Kellerhouse. Scotia-Glenville High School graduation at Union College, Schenectady, 1978.

Bruce Rowledge (just barely), teacher Bruce Kellerhouse (the only teacher who ever gave me detention), Louise Simoni, Paul Cremo, Lisa Reynolds, at our high school graduation, 1978.

Bad prom photos. I shot them but it was dark and the flash was insufficient for the faces. Now I'd know how to fix that (like maybe telling Jack to get a dark tux).

An awful shot of the six of us who shared prom night.

Louise Simoni, Paul Cremo, Lisa Reynolds at our high school graduation, 1978.

Lisa wrapped up in a quilt in my bedroom, hanging out and listening to what? Probably Fleetwood Mac or Meat Loaf.

I really need to run this one through Photoshop, because I LOVE the pose, and that expression on Carol's face.

Karen Helms at her high school graduation party.

Jeez, great use of DOF, Ceej. Lisa in proximity to my poster of Linda.

Louise Simoni, Dan Hill, Lisa Reynolds.

On my parents' rear deck at our college graduation party. Drunk, no doubt. From my short-lived perm period.

Terri in the office we called "The Pub", the publications office where in theory we worked on the yearbook, but mostly where we gathered to goof around. On the left but not in focus because I was an art photographer with a fast lens, JoAnn.

Proof that I was a serious photographer -- a tripod and a cable release. This was my first camera, the Mamiya/Sekor DSX 1000. I still have it, still use it.

This is called pasteup, kids. It's how we used to make newspapers. It was flaming tedious, but I was very good at it and used that skill to supplement my income for many years.

What the fuck? Brilliant self-portrait attempt, eh?

Tarri Dale and a dog at the pep rally.

Sheila Pepper, in "The Pub." Haven't seen Sheila in many, many years. Where'd ya go?

Me, in my standard crazed mode and an amazing embroidered shirt, at an Explorer Post 30 Christmas Party.

Again, yes, straight males did wear cutoffs that short in the '70s. I promise you we did.

I think this was from the Bastille Day party, which was when Post 30 celebrated its annual change of leadership and saw off the graduating seniors. I think it's safe to say that in those days it was not considered a big deal that adults were giving us beer.

A dramatic gesture from Carol, sitting in "The Pub" at Scotia-Glenville High School, 1978.

We went to an event a few weeks ago to take photos for an assisted living home in Scotia, NY! We had a blast watching the staff members and residents dance around and have fun!

 

It would mean a lot to us if you went and checked out our Facebook page! We usually upload more photos to there anyways :) here's the link: www.facebook.com/m.j.photography75

Karen Helms getting ready for a pep rally. She's our class president for life!

Melanie and Karen at the pep rally.

This was from School Press Institute at Syracuse University, which I attended before my senior year in high school. Here, Prof. Mario Garcia demonstrates the absolutely incredible technology that allowed you to EDIT your work before sending it to a typesetting device. This was so advanced that when I worked on computerized typesetting just four years later, that machine still only allowed you to edit the line you were typing, not the whole story.

Carol Scipione and friend. For some reason, giant stuffed animals were a part of this pep rally.

This is Tammy Newkirk at a pep rally.

Out of focus pep rally. I think that's Karen Damberg waving up high.

Fireworks in Scotia, NY at Jumpin' Jack's

Louise in "The Pub," the publications office at Scotia-Glenville High School.

God, could there be any more dust on that shot? I once had it enlarged and the lab did nothing about the dust, either. Trying for a shot of Donna, I'm sure I was more annoying than amusing. We were friends in 1977, we're still friends today.

My Smith-Corona Coronamatic, a huge gift from my parents that I beat on for several years before it finally gave out.

Oh, well. I was learning, okay? It's not the motion, it's the focal point that's wrong here.

I remember that her name was Carla, but no more than that -- this was at a Explorer Post 30 Christmas party.

Bruce tossing newsprint at a paper drive we conducted to raise money for our Explorer Post, or perhaps it was for the entire council.
