Life Before the Internet
Do you remember life before the internet? I do remember life before the internet, but I was an early adopter, so that was a loooong time ago.

Photography Practical Possibility
Almost a decade ago, I mused about taking my photography from art to practical. CafePress called to me. Use your images, design cool stuff, and make money.
