Colorado is AMAZING


A vibrantly reddish-pink wildflower.


Beautiful grass, trees, mountains, and sunset.


Grass, the Rockies, the sun, and clouds - an amazing combination.


A sunset-lit, tree-lined boulevard.


One of Colorado's beautiful wildflowers. Notice the beatle.

Graduation Day


This is me, beaming after receiving my fake diploma on Graduation day. The real one came later.

Tiki


The eyes are the window to the soul - unless you don't have one.

A penny


I used to collect these and polish them with erasers. I thought that the shinier they were, the more valuable.

Papyri


An actual gilded Egyptian papyrus the mother brought back from Egypt.

Detail:

Mustachioed


If you look closely at the top middle dark pane of glass, you will notice a mustachioed man with an ear and a military haircut. This came from the top-left window of the building on the rear of the new $20 bill.

Josie and Little Bit


A drawing of Josie, a dog that belongs to the bed-ridden woman my mother watched for several months.


Little Bit, the second of Mom's watchee's dogs.

Gastrointestinal


My favorite words in tenth grade: splanchnic and scrofulous

Sorry Miss Jackson, I was for real...


I figured I shouldn't post any full-resolution images of currency (wouldn't want to run afoul of the Secret Service, now would I?), but this is still a stunning image of Jackson.

Death by...


I had to keep this image away from my mother, because it sent her into frenzies of craving.

Hummel dolls


I believe these are called Hummel dolls, or something like that. They have an marvelous texture when magnified ten times or so.

I just saved a lot of money on car insurance...


The Geico gecko is just awesome.

Wasted paper


Another SSP artifact. One of these was printed after every single print run from the New Mexico Tech computer lab... how wasteful.

Idealism


Ah, those were the days - when I still believed that nanotechnology would be used in Eric Drexler's sense - to manufacture anything molecularly.


My floor RM at ASMSA, Jim, used to slide these under students' doors when they failed cleanliness inspections.

Birds don't cry


Take notice of the faint tear below the bird's eye...

Do birds have tear glands?

Typewritten


I bought an electric typewriter for $5.00 at a thrift store, rarely used it, and gave it away upon moving to Colorado. This is one of the three or so things I ever typed on it.

Sky sphere


A spherical-coordinate diagram I saved from this summer's Summer Science Program (SSP) in Socorro, New Mexico.

Hmmmm.....


Hmmmm.....

If only I could replicate dimes as is possible digitally....

Danish Wedding Cookies


Star


More flower reproduction parts, but with a cool star pattern. Please excuse the blurriness.

Unknown flower


I found this flower on a bush in my front yard, though I still have no idea what flower it is.

Green leaves


Various and sundry flower-stem-leaf-part things.

Artificial Expansion


This proto-carnation was actually still in its bulb, but I pulled it out and fluffed it up a bit.


A flower bulb.

Stamen? Oogonium?


Oh goody...delightfully bizarre-looking flower parts

Goofball


Wow. I used to act really funny.

Oh, wait - I still do.

I'll kill you


Yesterday I found a folder with five 8x10 proofs left over from my mother's photography class at the Corcoran School of Art and Design around 1998. This picture of me is one of the hundreds of me and my siblings.
