Over the years I took a lot of photographs, as did many
others, and as well many hours of tape recordings of camp skits and songs. Now that I’m older, slower, and grayer, with
kids pretty grown up, I find myself with the time to do more things – like make
my photos and recordings more accessible to others and document some history
along the way. This project will take a
while, as scanning old photos can be tedious.
But I know that many others enjoy seeing old photo as much as I do, as
they conger up fond memories of good times and old friends, those still with us
and those who have passed on.
So through this effort I hope to preserve and refresh memories, for the enjoyment of those of us who lived them and for our families, friends, and others who might find them of interest. I have been very fortunate to have had these experiences and these friendships that have significantly shaped my life.
Some Technical Comments:
All these photos can be copied by visitors for their personal, non-commercial use – I ask only that those who do such consider a (tax deductible!) donation to the Association of Horizon (link) to support its wonderful ongoing work. All photos are copyrighted, and are mine unless otherwise indicated.
I anticipate that it will take me a long time to get all my
photos and other material up on this site, so revisit periodically to see
what’s been added. Whether this
particular vehicle, a Blogger blog, is the best for my purposes will remain to
be seen; I suppose at some point it may be necessary to change to something
different.
I’ll try to remember to amend the original
post with any additional information that fills in details I missed at
first.
I’ll try to tag each photo with a number of labels so that
all posts with a specific theme can be viewed as a group. For individuals that will appear a lot in
photos, I’ll tag their last name.
