In 2000, my parents and I went on a road trip to the Grand Canyon. Along the way we saw some sights in New Mexico. Here are my photos from the trip.

In April 1999, artist Connie Beckers had an open house to show off how she'd decorated her North Minneapolis home. Here are my photos from the visit.

In the fall of '97 I took a semester of geology. Here are the photos from our field trips around Iowa.

I had a summer internship in 1997 at Great Lakes Free-Net in Battle Creek. Here are my photos from the experience.

In April, 1997, I took a bus from Grinnell to Aspen, CO to attend the first annual conference of the short-lived Alliance For Community Networking (AFCN), an organization that aimed to "bridge the digital divide" with public computing centers nationwide. The conference itself was pretty forgettable, but I had a great hike up Aspen Mountain and took a few photos.

Spring break of my senior year of high school (1994) I went to visit my friend Javier and his family in Mexico City. Spring break of my junior year of college (1997) I returned to visit them again, this time in Uruapan and Michoacán. Here are my photos from the two trips.

My first semester at Grinnell, I went on a service trip to the Winnebago reservation north of Omaha. We spent the week scraping and repainting a mortuary building. Here are my photos from the trip.

Young Religious Unitarian Universalists (YRUU) is the youth group of the UUA. I didn't get involved until I was a sophomore in high school, but then I attended all the "rallies" I could and took lots of photos of my friends and our antics.

I attended Bartlesville Mid-High from 1990-92 and Bartlesville High School from 1992-94. Since we didn't carry cameras around with us all the time back then, most of the photos I took were during senior year.

My first car was a 1976 Sebring-Vanguard Citicar we named Sparky. It was originally orange, but on the second day I had my driver's license, I hit a parked car and shattered the plastic of the front passenger side corner. Dad found me the necessary materials to repair the body myself, and then we had it painted candy apple red and made a new front bumper out of varnished pine! After I left for college, we sold the car to a collector.
