Friends and Neighbors in 1957
Here’s an old pic I remember seeing framed or otherwise hanging around during my growing-up years.

By the expressions you can tell [...]

Germany, 1967
When my parents and my cousin Richard Warner took a trip to Europe in 1967, they flew on this Boeing 707 jet, the most advanced passenger jet of its time – which flew direct from New York, even — a rarity in that age. From the haze you can tell it’s a typical warm, humid New [...]

You can call me Bond… James Bond.
Richard Warner posing suavely as a young tourist in Germany, July, 1967. Unfortunately, the 35 mm camera he’s wearing was later stolen, along with my parents’ cameras, from their hotel room, and since he had borrowed the camera from a friend, he had to buy him a new camera!

Mexican Sugar Skull #1
My first attempt at making a Mexican Sugar Skull. It’s not as pretty as the ones in the pictures on the site, but that’s due to the form of media — those Betty Crocker tubes of writable icing from the grocery store. I thought that looked too plain so I stuck on cranberry eyes and [...]
