iPhoto clean-out

by taj on Jul.28, 2009, under Uncategorized

Well I have to admit I find it a little bit hard to come up with new content when I’ve spent the last few weeks doing nothing but laying down watching TV. So unless you wanted to hear my opinions on network TV shows or how shitty it is to pay medical bills all I can come up with is this: an iPhoto clean-out post. I’m pretty sure I’ve posted most of these photos at one point or another over at T-1, but as a lot of them are years and years old and I can’t actually remember. I took a scroll from top to bottom through my iPhoto library and pulled out ones that caught my eye for one reason or another…. here you go….

This is one of Kimler’s babies. The pacifier is so disturbing to me and it makes me giggle uncomfortably. The shirt reads, “Hung Like a 5 year old”.cimg0858

This is me and the ring bearer at my friend Bryan’s wedding. He made us matching embroidered goat shirts too.

Texting and driving is dangerous, but what about focusing and shooting photos? I don’t think there’s any laws yet anyway.

This was a show in England where Black Sabbath played to like 150,000 people! I got knocked the hell out on the ramp and lost some memory.

Sergio’s manualing in the background, but this little kid is slidding down a cement quarter on his stomach. He must be made out of nails ’cause that cememnt was rough.

Roscoe looks understandably mortified because I had just hacked the head off a stuffed dog about his size. Used it for the head on my halloween Roscoe bike.

A good moment behind T-1. Lucero on the ramp for the 2nd or 3rd time. Always a good way to bring the Austin family together for a night.Bass player is up chilling on the deck on the left side of the photo.

Man, that fresh Hemp-Lite Skatelite on the back section used to look so clean! Over the years its weathered and looks the same as the normal stuff.

This is one of my favorite Roscoe photos… he’s the blur on the right in the middle of a half flip frisbee catch.

I miss having a film camera for moments like this. There’s something about film that digital just doesn’t capture huh?

What looks like a blurry mess is actually the brightest northern lights display I’ve ever seen. Somewhere in Wisconsin.
