Enthusiastically Ambiverted Hopepunk
Photos, usually taken by me. May be mirrored or imported from other services.
I just realized that I’ve recently passed the 5,000 photo mark in my Flickr account.
If I’d thought about it ahead of time, I would probably have chosen something other than this for my five thousandth photo.
Heh. 20/20 hindsight and all….
“I Don’t Know How To Love Him” by Saliers, Emily from the album Jesus Christ Superstar: A Resurrection (1994, 3:57).
Today was the 2nd annual Marriage Equality march and rally in support of marriage rights for everyone. Just like last year, I was there, camera in hand.
Every so often, someone contacts me after finding one of my photos and asks permission to use it for one project or another. Here’s another: exhibit design firm PPI Design and Fabrication used this photo as part of an exhibit at the newly-opened KidsQuest Childrens Museum in Bellevue.
Prairie and I were able to stop by the museum this morning to find my photo…
“Trust (Never)” by K.M.F.D.M. from the album Glory (1994, 4:36).
After having some recurring problems with the Gallery software that we’d been using for the Hanscom Family Gallery, I decided to throw in the towel and talked dad into putting his Flickr account to use.
I’m so glad I did.
He’s been going through and scanning in a lot of old pictures that he and mom brought back from Florida after her parents died last year, and putting them up. Such great stuff in here!
Mom’s parents, my grandparents, Harold and Arline Ward.
My grandpa teaching swimming — probably at the YMCA, if I’m remembering correctly.
Mom in about 5th grade, dressed up as a clown for Halloween.
“La Vie Boheme B” by Original Broadway Cast from the album Rent (1996, 1:53).
Every so often, someone contacts me after finding one of my photos and asks permission to use it for one project or another. A few of these haven’t gone anywhere, but here’s one that did: landscape designers The Berger Partnership are using this photo on their website detailing their work on renovating Cal Anderson Park.
“Ikons” by K.M.F.D.M. from the album XTORT (1996, 4:11).
It’s really coming down — doesn’t seem to be sticking yet, but the flakes are huge. Whee!
Last time I went up to visit my folks in Anchorage, I snagged some old family photos. I’m (finally) starting to get some of them scanned in.
First up: four photos of my Aunt Kay. I never met Kay, as she died long before I was born. However, I’ve been told on a few occasions that she and I are very much alike. While I’m sure I’d seen pictures of her before, I didn’t remember any of them before I found these while digging through the stacks of pictures at mom and dad’s house.
From left to right: Kay sometime in 1960; Kay in a kilt sometime in 1961 (possibly at the University of Iowa, according to the handwritten note on the back of the photo); Kay and her date for Senior Prom sometime in 1961; Mom and Kay dressed up for Kay’s High School graduation in 1961.
Lastly, Mom pinning Dad’s wings on after his promotion to 2nd Lieutenant in 1968.
Happy birthday to my girl!
Happy Halloween, folks! A couple more pictures of decorations ’round our apartment after the jump.
