1983:  What am I doing here?  De was directing the play (Twain's Story of Adam and Eve) and I got the lead part by the oldest method known to Hollywood. De's theatre work is linked here.
Shot about 1988 on infrared film.

Shot on same role as picture above.
Deidre when we were in grad school.  I had access to the darkroom and liked playing around.  This backlit shot was later digitally solarized by fussing with the tone curve.

Near the train station outside Brussels.  Riding the sportster we'd customized with fat bob tank and apehangers. 
A friend's wedding in Oakland.  1976.  Young and dressing bad.  The seventies were especially cruel to men.  Check out the collars and tie.

A visit to Cancun.  There was no touching up the image.  the sky was really dark grey as a thunderstorm rolled in and yet the water remained a beautiful turquoise.
De was this young once, but I never was.  I'm thinking this was in college during a visit home.

A few years ago.  Deidre at one year of age.
Dorky.  Real dorky.  Judging by stubble and tie, I'd say the last Sunday after vacation before shaving and returning to work.  The hat is one I wore on a vacation to CA.  About 1986.

Yes, that is a 1965 Mustang convertible and yes, that is a Volkswagen van.  Those were cool.  The shirt on the other hand is kind of scary.  But, we can at least be thankful the picture isn't in color.  I'd say the summer after my freshman yea rin college.

Deidre about 1991 or so.
The evening we were on our way to the Belgian King's reception for some business heads in the country.  Yes, we were heading only a small company, but hey! it's a small country.  Great jazz concert.

Not too long after acquiring the bike now painted creamy yellow and known as Twinkie. (see motorcycle page)

One year of corporate aging. Hmmm, not planned but same shirt and tie. Too cheap for new clothes? Not really, I just like that tie.
In Brussels back yard.

Watching Bill clean the grass out of his locker.
Beautiful red eyes. Nice disposition. "Aggie" as in agalycnis dacnicolor.
Sisters and niece. Showing off their rose tatoos that they all wore to Carolyn's funeral. It was the grief, I suppose. There's more to the story.
A satellite image of our home I downloaded of fthe internet. You can see quite a bit of detail with a loupe.
On the road to Sturgis.
Pool at Susan's.
I like socks.
Shot at Stanford. About 1976. Just taken up photography. Enamored by soft focus.
One of my favorite digitally modified photos. May paint this one day... did it. Added.
At Clint's (De's younger brother) wedding. Hmmm, that would be mid-70's as if you couldn't tell from the tux.
De's roomates her freshman year in college. Kathy, Kandee, MaryAnn and spouses.
Taken from helicopter while flying over Mont Saint Guibert operations in Belgium.
Grandad couldn't stay off even though he made a special call to tell me I shouldn't ride it across the country even if we were going to stop off and see him.

Way to young. Worked out OK. Hmmm, we are now older than our parents were. OUCH!
