Selected Photos

My little brother, Oliver.











These are individual photos that I had digitized from negatives.

Willimantic, CT

The Joint

The Joint is a local band from my hometown. I caught a street performance they held at Willimantic's third Thursday event. They were good. The last photo is of my friend, Sean Reid, the guitarist.

Standard Tourist Photos

This winter I visited my aunt and her life partner in Berkely for a long weekend. It was fun and they brought me to Golden Gate Park for the obligatory tourist visit. It's really a pretty nice park and San Francisco/Berkley was awesome.

Ecuador, Again

These are off a roll that was not digitized/I lost the disc, and I just recently had the negatives scanned and digitized.

The Road to Flagstaff

OK the last picture was actually after leaving Flagstaff. But this past spring my track team made the trip from LA up to Flagstaff for an indoor meet. The trip was ridiculously long. I didn't end up competing, because leaving our hotel to get back on the bus to go to dinner I hopped snow pile, slipped on a patch of ice and sprained my ankle really badly. I was unable to run for about a month, which aptly began a season nearly constantly interupted by injury. But the trip was fun, and the season ultimately somewhat successful.

Unthemed Photographs

The History Pub

Mmm, beer. A porter to be exact, if I recall correctly. I love me some porter.






After I got a hold of the pint.








I was a bit intoxicated taking these.

This Is My Track

The second turn.



The new infield, and Toby Lemon, an old teammate who now works for the US Paraolympic team, helping run the facility in San Diego.



The back stretch, 200 meter start and beginning of the second turn.






Same photo cropped different ways. I kind of like the bottom one more. This is the home stretch, the stands and press box.

This is where I run, and my favorite place to compete, even over Claremont's track (where I've run both my PRs). It was originally built as a practice facility for the 1984 Soviet team. It took the place of the dirt track that was home to Oxy's long history of track success and domination. The Soviets ended up boycotting the Olympics and my college got a free track. One that is one of the best tracks on the West Coast. Boasting 120 meter turns it is incredibly fast and is a ton of fun to race on.

The Southern California Library for Social Studies and Research (The People's Library)

These are photos from the above named library, a private non-profit library in South-Central LA. Myself along with one of my friends/fellow student and filmmaker were assigned a project to work with the library to make them a documentary.We were making them a 5+ minute film for free. Something that normally would have cost well into the thousands. Despite this they were remarkably uncooperative and unhelpful. They had a lot of really cool documents that existed nowhere else, but unfortunately did not have the funding to properly care for them, the facility lacked even air conditioning. It was really kind of sad, because they did offer unparalleled access, which is why they refused to entrust the documents to a better equipped library like the nearby USC, or UCLA libraries. Unfortunately I believe this idealistic refusal will eventually lead to the loss of many important and interesting, unique materials.

Anyways, my friend and I completed the film and sent them a copy, the only thing we failed to do was include a soundtrack as we had no original music and they planned on using the film for advertising and promotional purposes. We offered to add in the soundtrack if they supplied music, but never heard back from them, not even a thank you. Eh, really, what can you do?
