This is my mother. She found this lovely statue in Bath, England while trapsing about. For those who don't know, SPQR is my nickname. Photograph: Frederick Baguhn (my father) took this with a Pentax Auto 110. I told him he should have taken a Nikon, but he didn't listen. If you look closely, you can see that most of the image is not in razor sharp focus... but hey, it's a snapshot, and it's kinda cute.
My cousin Katie Berg (left). Sorry I can't remember the names of her friends. The print of this is razor sharp, it's a bad scan (lustre finish paper, as are a good number of the rest of these).

There's a story behind every photo, and no caption should last for 1000 words. I was at his graduation party, wandering around with cameras. These folks wanted a photo of them with the man of the hour. My cousin David Berg is center, and I really don't know who the other people are. Sorry, but you know how it is... you meet 75 people in an hour, and you don't expect to see any of them again, so you chat amiably, try to remember their name & shake their hand on the way out the door. I couldn't remember their names. Good thing I'm mailing the photo up to them.

Russell Norman Bowers. Any day now, I'll try to put up the photo of him shaking hands with Milton McPike (the local impressive school official person). "Dance, even if there is no where to do it but in your own living room." This graduation party was first, on the same day, and since I have photos from both, that means I was on the road for about 11 hours that day. Wow. Oh yeah, he always has that goofy smirk on. I kinda like it.

This is Phil, Russell's younger brother (and hence, also my cousin). He was graduating 8th grade at the same time, and I managed to talk him into letting me get a photo. Note the lack of goofy smirk.

My sister complained to me that there were no pictures of her on my webpage, even though there were "People you admittedly don't know". What can I say? I think it's a good picture, as well as reminder that I'm NOT an artist, I'm a photographer.
GIMP 0.99.23, Linux 2.0.34, 486-133, 32M ram, 2G scsi disk, with a dedicated 486-66 w/S3 as an X-Terminal over local 10base2 Ethernet. Exposure unrecorded.
My Grandmother, Charlotte. Snapped this photo back at the Christmas gathering of my family, 98.

Here is the photo I took of my sister after she complained about the stick figure of her. There's a really good shot of her flipping off the camera, but mother disallowed that shot from being posted on the internet, and defaming her darling daughter. Sorry about the dusty scan... I think I've got to get the scanner fixed.
Nikon FM2n, either a 50mm f2 Nikkor or a 135mm f2.8 Katana (can't remember, probably the 135 from the compression), my studio lighting, and Ilford XP2.
