Dave's Photos

Hooray, here's another massive pile of crap for you to take all day going through. As much free time as you've got, my friend, I'll fill it with useless time-killing content here on umop.com! This time, it's scanned (mostly; newer ones are better digital ones) photos of me and people in my life from the last 37 years. Sure, this is only about one millionth the amount of pictures I could actually share, and it's a very rare occurance indeed that I might do so here. Maybe someday we'll have the kind of bandwidth on umop.com to gobble up for my whole damned album. Until then, gentle voyeur, peek and behold these selected pink innards of my lifemeats.

UPDATE 8/31/2008:
Here's THE LATEST PHOTO! (click thumbnail to see it!)
