Records records records!

Took a few closeup pictures of the record collection for a web banner I was making. As the CD and MP3 collections grow larger the vinyl collection gets smaller, but I can't imagine ever not having at least a few hundred albums around.

Some walls in Oaxaca Mexico (1998)

While in Oaxaca in 1998 for the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival I became obsessed with the beauty of the walls there. I wish we had a digital camera back then - I would have taken hundreds of photos. The camera I brought was new and I didn't even know there was a date stamp setting, so I never turned it off (or even set the date to the correct date!), which bums me out seeing it on all of the photos.
