Photos!

Just a quick post. The entire set is here and dates from 1986, when we went to the World Expo in Vancouver, BC. There are some neat photographs in there (IMO) from a non-family perspective as well as a family perspective this time. Sadly, none of Dad - once again, I'm pretty sure he was the one with the camera.

My favorite from the set is either this photo of Mom or this photo of me with the world's largest (at the time, I assume) pewter tankard. No, I don't know why. :)

Some of the non-family ones: carving, a pretty sculpture, a silly UFO.

Now off to work!

Glee! Glee!

I got a call today while I was at work, from the Japanese Gardens. They are using four of my photos for a calendar! (These are photos I donated to them.) They wanted to know how I wanted to be credited, and whether I wanted a web-site link. All sorted out now. And I will get copies of the calendar. I am absolutely thrilled.

I suspected they might use them for something when they called late last year to ask about how they could be used; now I know. They will let me know at some point which four, as well.

I wish I could tell Mom and Dad. I at least got to tell them (or was it just Dad? I forget now--I think it was both) about the Gardens asking about my photos, back when, though. And hopefully, if it matters, somewhere they know. I suppose in the grand scheme of things it doesn't, but just now, today, it matters to me. And I wish I could tell them, 'cause I think they'd be pleased, maybe even proud.

I am. But somehow it feels nicer to let others be, for you. Huh.
