We’re enjoying the last day of our brief trip to Alaska today before we head to Seattle for Memorial Day Weekend tomorrow. Though both girls have been here before, in some ways this trip has felt like the first time they’ve really experienced the travel, the excitement, and the beauty of Alaska. It was Lucy’s […]

A year ago, I attended my first FIAF Congress in Skopje, Macedonia. This year, the proceedings took place in Sydney and Canberra, Australia, and as actual affiliates of the group, we were entitled to send a representative. Having been to New Zealand twice, I was intrigued to visit Australia, and though I saw what seemed […]

We’re nearly there… This photo was taken in May of last year, at the International Federation of Film Archives Congress in Skopje, Macedonia, as I presented the results of some voting during my first year at the Congress. It feels like yesterday that I was a student, reading about events like this, but there you […]

A photo I took using my phone, probably in direct violation of the rules of the Musée Hergé, on March 10, 2011, when I visited the museum during our European adventure with Grace. A pilgrimage to the new museum dedicated to Tintin’s creator wasn’t in the cards for our Paris/Amsterdam itinerary, so I took a […]

We’d always wanted to visit New Zealand, and vowed that we’d do it while we lived in L.A., just a non-stop flight away from Auckland. In the summer of 2009, we took our trip, and had an incredible time. I put together some words and photos here, collected many more photos here, and include this […]

After a few years of growing interest in the history and technology of the little mechanical wonder known as the photobooth, I started a website about them in 2003, and by 2005, with the help of Tim, it had become Photobooth.net, the best resource for all things photobooth on the web. Along the way, I […]

Honeymoon! We’re en route from Belize City to Mata Chica on Ambergris Caye on July 14, 2005, five days after our wedding. That was a pretty good year.

March of 2000, somewhere on Oxford Street in London. I always hear the Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” in my head when I see this photo, and Brent’s matching shot. This trip was one of five I took to the UK, once a year between 1999 and 2003, when flights were cheap, vacation days plentiful, and responsibilities […]

1997 was a big year: final year of college, then graduation, then a 40 day road trip, and then my first real job. The road trip was the highlight, I have to say, and so I’ve chosen this photo, memorializing the moment when I was in four states at the same time. There are a […]

Between August and December of 1995, I lived in England, traveling around for the first few weeks, then settling in Cambridge for the fall semester of school. I had a great time, but the program I studied under was a little strange, mostly acting students from the U.S. there to do drama, stage fighting, directing, […]

I’ve always made questionable fashion choices, but I did not make a habit of wearing that bandanna, as far as I can recall, beyond this photo. This is a birthday gathering in February of 1992, a photo taken by Sloan or Alecia or Brent or Steve, who are in other photos on this roll, sitting […]

I’m standing next to a sign at the top of Trail Ridge Road, during perhaps the first of many trips to Colorado, this one in June of 1983. Home to my Dad’s parents, Colorado was one of the primary travel destinations of my childhood. Nearly every trip there, at least the ones not during winter, […]

We spent Christmas with Aimee’s family in Rhode Island, and enjoyed a leisurely few days of relaxation, good food, movies, and hanging out. I hadn’t been to Newport in awhile, and I hadn’t been to any of the mansions in at least ten years. Aimee and the girls and I visited Marble House, decorated for […]

Despite what we’ve all been used to for the past fifty years, Paul McCartney won’t be around forever, and during his past few tours, I’ve thought of trying to catch a show, but it never worked out. I didn’t want to miss another opportunity, so this week, I drove up to Albany to catch the […]

Yes, it’s only one hill, but that’s some hill. The race is over now, and I’m happy to say I survived, and had a great time (in the sense that I enjoyed myself, not that I finished competitively). Coming into the race, I was familiar with the course, having driven it before, but I’d never […]
