Looks professional, doesn't it?

When we started to seek better gigs at better prices, we knew we had to get a professional-looking photo of the band.  We had a choice of either hiring a professional photographer with a fully-equipped studio for hundreds of dollars, or, we could hang a blanket on the wall at Tim's parents' house and take pictures under the glare of a work lamp.  We chose the latter.

We set up one night while the parents were at the movies and took pictures until we hit the end of the 24-exposure black-and-white roll of film.  We posed serious, silly, happy and angry.  We posed standing and sitting for about two hours.  This was almost the last picture on the roll.

Don't bother calling.

Yes, that's Tim's contact information on the photo, but forget about that phone number.  That number is almost 20 years out-of-date!  But, hey, whoever has that phone number now, please, if anyone calls looking for me, just take a message.

The official photo.
