Shoe box Memories

[RBHarter]

My Grandfather with my kids Spring of 91' I guess .



My Dad , to whom I bear a terrifying resemblance , with my oldest girl in Baja Summer of 93' . They were filleting the catch on the dock at Old Mill on the Bia San Quintin (like canteen not the Cali prison) .


A lesser known Nevada land mark . Nope not even made up God's honest legitimate place right on I 80 .

That fishing photo is just classic. She looks so happy and he looks so proud. Good memory for sure.

Me entertaining myself trying to "push-plow" hard-packed caliche with some limb I found in the woods. Photo has "March 1977" written on the back in Mom's writing, month of my second birthday. Photo from my grandfather's bedside table collage frame found after he died.

Ian,
Can see where the future ponytail came from! Nice hair!

I started digitizing all our family image back in the earl 2000's
Also I have been digitizing hundreds of my customers photos for more than 25 years...... This gives me great satisfaction knowing that the images are being preserved as long as everything is moved along in technologies paradigm shifts!

Ian,
Is that a self-made plow?

I'm told I found it like that and figured out something fun to do with it on my own. Where I got the idea is anyone's guess.

JonB in Summer of 78

One of my many ventures as a young lad, Modeling gig which was setup by my Brother's girlfriend who was an Art editor at Billy Graham magazine. It was for a article about a famous Conductor, who played the Tuba as a young boy.

This was also a day of Firsts !
>First photo shoot as a Model (and last one too),
>First lone ride on a greyhound Bus from small town Minnesota to the Big City of Minneapolis,
>First time I seen a sewer rat in the wild streets of Minneapolis (as I look back on that, knowing Minneapolis is a river town, it was probably just a muskrat),
>and lastly, my Mom (a local Bank employee) arranged a ride home for me, with the V.P. of the Bank, who was picking up currency from Mpls Fed Reserve ...so the "First" being... riding shotgun leaving Minneapolis with a trunk load of Cash.

That's a Sousaphone.

 

[JonB]

That's a Sousaphone.

well dang, all these years I've been saying that was a Tuba

 

[fiver]

yep Tuba's roll over to the front.
Sousa's [by the big military march guy] angle up to have a bit different pitch that complements the tuba's deeper sound.
kind of a ump to oomp type thing.

 

[Ian]

Cool opportunity there Jon!

This is a tuba configured for marching. For concert venues a mouthpipe with less or no bend is used and the bell pointed upwards.
