1. (left) a gallery of black and white pictures that were taken during an acid trip in approximately 1983. these photos are on fading negatives that have never been printed, so the quality is a little poor, but it definitely catches the feelings that i was having at the time. location is downtown seattle, and the sea tac airport (this was a long time before 11 september, 2001…
2. (right) a gallery of various pictures of ezra from 1984 to 1989 or thereabouts.
3. (below) a gallery of photos from the past, including one that may be NSFW, so beware. also includes at least one that won’t be of any meaning to you unless you were there.
4. (left, small) a gallery of some of the more interesting musical instruments and some of the more difficult jobs that have been repaired by Nataraja Music Service, and some of it’s different locations since 1986.
most of these galleries will expand as time goes on. i just discovered that i have the ability to process regular negatives into reasonably acceptible digital photos, and i have a huge quantity of negatives of a variety of subjects that have never been printed before, and plenty of time to scan them.
photoshop works miracles… 8)
i’ve got fine auburn hair and started to lose it up top when i was 27 years old. coming from a military family you can guess it never went below the collar and hair clippers come with far too many grades nowadays 🙂
i do have a mustache, but we aren’t talking Tom Selleck style here!!!
if you’re referring to the hair treatment in the photo to the right, i wore my hair like that from approximately 1970 until after i graduated from the tech school in 1986. immediately after the tech school graduation, i went to a yoga retreat on saltspring island with hari das baba, and then, when i actually returned home to bellingham, i got my hair cut short for the first time. i’m not exactly sure when the picture on the right was taken, but it was probably either just before i went to the tech school in 1984 (so between 1982 and 1983) or shortly after returning to bellingham in 1986, but before i got all my hair cut off (1987?)… but the brain injury is getting in the way, and the only person who was actually there, my son, was between birth and 4 years old, so he doesn’t remember.
’83 ???? haha, looks like ’73 more like. guess thats the Pond divide. i will admit to wearing jumpers made of that material in the ’80’s but the haiur treatment cries 70’s 🙂
now, how the hell did you manage to get images to come out straight whilst tripping? i suppose it’s too late for me to try now, but i see some inherent difficulties due to the pushing influence of Mr Giggles
i have always taken really interesting pictures when on acid… i’ll probably upload more at some later time…
damn, you were hot in that juggling photo, those shots are awesome for being on acid, and ezra was SUCH a beautiful boy! i will look through all of these more thoroughly later and it will be a delight.
