Spent some time today sorting through my dad's slide collection which I inherited. Mostly shot on Kodachrome from about 1952 onwards with his trusty Argus C3. Amazing how they haven't faded much after 50 years. Just getting started but here are 4 that I liked.

1. Christmas and it snowed and I had to wear those f--king shorts and that red sweater that my grandmother knitted for me.
2. Actually a very decent portrait by my dad. Sharp and great Kodachrome skin tones! Wonder what happened to that little dinosaur?
3. I played Little League because I so wanted to be one of the guys but I was so afraid of the frigging ball being pitched, and no one told me that they gave me a first baseman glove and I was in the outfield.
4. Our house out on Long Island in the winter of '58. My parent's got about $28,000 for it in '66. Now it is worth $600K or so!
