It's mostly photographs I took or were taken by me. My parents have one of those scrapbooks for kids they kept on me.
Mine starts at the age of 17. I started college early, and have a photo of me sitting outside the dorm wearing nothing but a pair of orange baggies that were all the rage back then.
I used to go on white water kayaking trips in mexico, a bunch of waterfall pictures and stuff, including me going over one.
Great pics of Yaxchilan, which is a mayan ruin that can only be reached by boat, and with the government's permission. It was in its natural, unreconstructed state at the time, wandering around it at night was so eerie.
Pics of me, dad, or friends holding up fish, with notes.
Ex-girlfriends. I had a girlfriend who was one of the coordinators of the AIDs quilts project, the Washington Post published a great photo of her standing on the mall in the rain, looking to the sky and her wet hair streaming down her shoulders. The photo I cut from the paper is fading pretty bad.
A going away card from some people I worked with and really cared for.
I used to run a lot of 10k's and ten milers, I kept the number that you put on your chest from each of them, lot of fun to look through them and remember. |
