Hey, kids! How is everyone?!
I've got lots of pics to post. Since it would appear that I haven't posted on the board since Boxing Day, here's a picture of me from that day. This is at some party I went to back home in Ottawa.
While I was at home, I found a flatbed scanner at a thrift store for $10. I couldn't believe that it would work, but I bought it anyway, and it turns out that it actually does! The most exciting part is that it has a negative adapter. I haven't completely figured it out yet, and it took fucking forever to get the thing to work (HP software sucks -- I had to manually goof around with the registry), but I'll post some of those soon. For now, here's some good old fashioned print scans. I used some old family photos to test out the thing at my mom's.
Those two are of my mom and I. I'm not really sure how old I am in either of those. It looks like my hair is still blond in the first!
On the other hand, I know for sure that I'm 12 years old in this one. This is from some ceremony where I was receiving that metal braid. The picture was for the local paper, but I don't remember if they used it or not. What I do remember is that everyone was telling me to look at the camera and I couldn't tell where it was at first, which is why I look pissed off and embarrassed.
Anyway, the funny thing is that, 13 years later, that Boy Scout uniform shirt still fits me. In fact, I wore it just this Saturday...
You gotta wonder what happened to that sweet looking kid.
Here's a neat thing. A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine asked me if he could use a picture I took of him on a poster for his band's show. This is the final result...
I'm certainly no professional, so it's pretty cool to know that a picture I took got plastered all over the city!
This is the original.
Lastly, for no reason whatsoever, here's a scan of my driver's license -- featuring cool embossed signature!
My grandfather took me there dozens of times to feed the ducks when I was a tyke.
