Post Your Picture Here!

[LarksTonguesInAspic 28]

Only 2 years? That's nothing! 

These pics are approximately 31 - 32 years old. Yes, my mom dressed me funny. Thankfully I was gifted with better taste. The original recycler, most presents were wrapped in newspaper by my mom. On Christmas, is was the colorized comics from the Sunday paper! We could afford wrapping paper, but my mom felt it was a waste of money.

The old stove in the background would actually be somewhat valuable today, it's an early '50s model that was built like a tank. That gray sheet between the stove and fridge was a plate of solid asbestos. Oh, to be young again.

"I'm not sleepiing... I'm just-"

What does it say?

Move your hand next time!

EDIT: While we're on the topic of old pictures....

Me in my mother's arms, January 1988.

Me an my sister shortly before moving day, August 1992. (my other sister was still 2 years in the future at this point).

Christmas 1990. Behind me is my mother, to the right are one of my uncles and my grandmother (mother's side). Not sure who that back of the head belongs to. I think it's another of my uncles.

Christmas 1995. In front of me is my father. The two girls in the matching dresses are my sisters. The old lady to the left is my grandmother (father's side), who's dead now.

Christmas 1999, with my parents and sisters. I look ridiculous in that picture.

This is me and my family when I was little. I am the one with the pony tails on the top.

[GingerBlokey 30]

Aw your mum and dad are so pretty, as were you.

But your dad does remind me of Vic Reeves:

It's so cool.

[ILL Tonkso 1,236]

Now 50% extra geeky

[Duke87 1,070]

Kinda hard to tell from the resolution- are all those things to the left on the shelf video games, DVDs, or manga?

And yes, you do look quite white and nerdy there. Nicely done.

...is that a cellphone picture or a webcam picture?

[ilikehotdogsalot 308]

Don't mind the dirty mirror and sunburn

[screamingman12 30]

Not sure how old this one is, but it can't be over a year. That's me working on one of my (many) computers that are sitting in a corner of my room.

[sEAhAwk fAn121 0]

Duke: Where are you, from that angle it looks like ground zero.

Awesome pics everyone!

[wir3d 2]

Yeah I think he is at ground zero.

Nice choice to pick you picture, right in between those two buildings.

[Duke87 1,070]

I am indeed at the World Trade Center Site there, and "those two buildings" are 1 and 2 World Financial Center. But that picture was taken by me, holding the camera out at arms length, with no preview of what I was snapping... hence, the fact that those buildings nicely frame me is just a happy accident. Seriously, I'm not known for my artistic composition skills. I'm a strictly point and shoot guy when it comes to photography.

Really, though, what's special is the location that picture was taken from- inside the actual construction site (hence the construction gear), an area inaccessible to the general public.

Fancy exclusive arrangement? Not really. I was there with a couple hundred other Civil Engineering students from various colleges and universities in the area. Moles Student Day.

[ilikehotdogsalot 308]

Since you seem to know a lot of construction, I have a question. What exactly are they doing on the site? It doesn't look like much is changed, are they breaking grounds for the Freedom Tower? Thanks for explaining

[gurrgkud 2]

looking pretty good. I myself love NYC, and I still get a bit.... emotional per se when I walk by ground zero.

I tend to... look at the place pretty deep. I touch something and I start wondering about all the generations that had touched that same exact spot. Or I look at the beauty in the architecture.... all the classical inspirations, etc.

wow... i'm rambling.

[kellydale2003 2,276]

LOL, Who wants higher resolution. Just kidding Duke!

Freedom Tower broke ground a while ago. Quite a bit of steel and concrete is already in place for it, but it's not above the level of the street quite yet. Remember, they're building out of a 6 story deep pit. This is the future location of towers 3 and 4, to give you an idea. As you can see, not much is happening there yet, but they are starting to blast holes for foundation footings.

Another new temporary PATH entrance opened up last week, and the underground passage under Dey Street which would establish a transfer between the exitsing (2)(3)(4)(5)(A)©(J)(M)(Z) complex at Fulton Street, the ®(W) at Cortlandt Street, and eventually the (1) at Cortlandt Street is well underway. This would make up the underground portion of the "Fulton Street Transit Hub" you may have heard about. The above ground building is still in planning and funding limbo so far as I can tell, but that's not on the World Trade Center Site.

Plenty has changed, trust me, it's just mostly subgrade stuff so far.

well its been a while.
