Unbelievably, this page has received visitors since January 1, 1996.

Here I am meeting George and Barbara Bush at the J.W. Marriot in Houston (Spring 1996).

I met current pres. George W. Bush back in 1992 but don't have any pictures of that. Besides, at the time he wasn't even Texas' governor yet.

Don't take this to mean too much when it comes to my politics.

First and foremost, I'm philosophically a Libertarian, but I don't happen to have any pictures of myself with any notable Libertarians.

So there you go.

(no, believe it or not, this is not
a cut and paste photo)

Here's another of me taken while engaging in one of the great Texas pastimes - Tubing.

The only reason I include this photo is to remind me of what I looked like with hair and a tan.

I've always been the 'guy with the camera' so I have very few photos of myself and this is probably the most flattering one I could find.

European Vacation!

I had the good fortune to visit Berlin in 1985. While there I took a shamefully pitiful picture of the Reichstag. What do you expect from a 15 year old working with a mediocre camera and an overcast sky?

My parents visited Europe in 1995 and got to see dozens of great places and took quite a few good pictures along the way. Their trip coincided with Christo's wrapping of the Reichstag and they snapped a good shot of it.

Vancouver, B.C., Canada

Back in the early part of the summer of '95 I spent close to a week in the beautiful city of Vancouver with a net.friend who attended UBC. I had no idea how nice a city could be until I saw Vancouver. Mountains, water, and skyscrapers all right there. There were plenty of sleek sailboats to drool over and amazing skylines to indulge in. The Univeristy of British Colombia was memorable as well with its garden overlooking an inlet with mountains on the horizon. Then there was Lion's Gate bridge and the folk music festival and the...

Back to the U.S.

Here's a shot taken in
Ruidoso, New Mexico on
a ski trip several years back.

On the way there, we stopped along the Texas-Mexico border out in West Texas and I snapped a shot there.

Roadtrip USA:

In the fall of '95, I drove from Houston all the way to Massachusetts with my sister and her amazingly cooperative Dalmatian. I took pictures sporadically along the way but a couple of my favorites were snapped in Louisiana and Georgia.

Downtown Houston:

From 1994 to 1997 I lived in a high-rise in downtown Houston, Texas. While living there, I fully appreciated the view I had. I took more photos from my balcony than I could reasonably justify but sometimes the view was just too damned cool. And then I'd start playing with my scanner and Corel Photo-Paint... it's all downhill from there.
