Photos

I have TONS of photos,  mostly slides starting from the University through the end of the film era, early 2000's.  I thought I had a lot of photos from when I was a kid, but now I can't find them, so they are probably gone.   

We have a lot of photos from being married and raising the kids.  Finding the negatives and organizing them is not likely to happen, but I occasionally find some prints and scan them.

At  the end of high school I got a 35 mm camera, and started taking kodachrome slides  more than prints.  I imagined that the slides would maintain their quality for my whole life, anyway: wrong.  Even slide photos taken more recently, like our honeymoon in 1985/ 86, are surprisingly faded.  And some of it is the conversion to digital copies, no doubt, but still.  

All the newer photos (since about 2002?) are digital, first from cameras, but now almost all from my phone. Technology never stops changing.   I don't plan to put many of the digital photos here, because they can be found online; see the Links page if the link works; access details seem to change over time.   Also, some photos will be included with the stories on those pages or links, so I won't add many from those times here.

Like most people, my photos are generally documentation of my life; exciting at the time, but they lose their significance quickly.  A few are/ were intended as "art" photos.  Anyway, I think I might make subpages with some photos with some kind of category description.  Maybe I'll do links to online albums, not sure.  You can see what there is.  

For now, there are a couple of photos here, just because I have them.
