This page is currently somewhat pathetic as I really don't have a lot of photos of myself. Actually, I really don't have a lot of photos of anything. I finally got a roll of film developed that has pictures from both a 1997 trip to Idaho and my summer 2001 road trip in March of 2002. Anyway, these are the pictures of me I could find that are for the most part, non-hideous.

caffiene is a good thing This is a picture my friend Rachel Hertz took of me at Franklyn's Coffeehouse sometime in early 1999. This was about six months before the album came out. This is actually one of the best pictures of me performing that I've seen. Most of the time I come out looking like a total idiot, which is why this page is so small.

I played about once a month at Franklyn's for about a year before I left D.C. They decided to refocus their musical selections after a while and determined that I was too loud. I'm still a bit pissed about that, but they're still nice guys. Franklyn's is at 18th and Florida, down near Dupont Circle in D.C.

black + white = classy This is a picture my friend Elisa Bock took of me at one my performances at the small concert series I run from the main lounge of my dorm. She is responsible for the black and white design, I just resized this so it would fit on this page.

The concert series was in conjunction with the teensy little radio station I was program director for, WXRU. You can hear their webcasts here Sunday through Thursday from 8pm-1am Central time (during the school year).

The fact that she messed with it actually makes it a much better picture, as it hides the fact that I was having an extremely bad hair day and just generally looked like hell. This makes it look kinda arty, which I think is a definite plus. Certainly better than looking like hell...

This is a picture my mother took of me when I was playing the guitar before I left to go to my Senior Prom. I pretty much never dress up, so this is a very rare picture. This is one of approximately three dresses I own.

I'm sure pretty much anyone who knows me will be incredibly amused by this picture, as most of them know how much I despise getting all dolled up and putting on makeup.
