Family.
This page is a long, long time coming.
My site, in general,
is an exercise in vanity and archiving. I'm comfortable with that. I
like keeping a record of what I've done and where I've been over the
years. I like the idea of leaving a record for whoever comes after me.
I recently upgraded all of my 
digital
gear and as I expected, I went a little crazy adding content to my
sites. Gear is funny like that. I could be satisfied with my sites
as they stand but 
once
it gets easier scanning and shooting new images, all of a sudden I need
to bump up the archives. It's amazing how far digital cameras and scanners
have come since I got into this. Jeez, a memory stick, smaller than
a stick of chewing gum and it holds 128 megabytes? A scanner one eighth
the size of the first one I bought? Pretty amazing.
I went to my mom's
house and she pulled out boxes of pictures. Seriously, boxes and
boxes and boxes of stuff. I had a few shots of Aquavit and plowed
through as much 
as
I could. What you see here (and in "Soul") is some what I
felt was worth scanning. I have another few (!) boxes to go through
to find images of the extended family, grandparents, cousins, aunts
and uncles. My mom is an amazing archivist/packrat. That must
be where I get it from.
Here are some pictures of my Mom. Here are some pictures of my sister Kari Anne and me. Here are some pictures of me, solo, as a child. Pretending to be a CTO and a Chief Scientist.
The pictures of me on the left, link to larger images of me playing guitar with my Dad. An all too rare occasion now that I think about it. He's so much better than me I think I was just too scared to play with him. I'll kick his ass these days, however. Not really, but, ummmm, maybe we should get together and trade licks more often than we do. Dad? You listening? Tune up.
I could
go on and on here, but I won't. Let me just say that without my family
being as cool as they are, I wouldn't be as cool as I am. Gotta
problem with that?
