Double exposed photo of me in me early 20s, probably late 90s. Photo is from mid-torso up, and while my body is facing the camera, my eyes are looking at something out of frame to the left. I am wearing a white T shirt, have shoulder length hair, and a ridiculous smirk on my face. There is a massive zit in the middle of my forehead. I am holding a beverage can of unknown provenance. Double exposed over the photo is another ghostly photo of what appear to be wires and cables or possibly tree branches.
A five panel comic that has been clearly altered to be about harsh noise wall Panel 1: our hero says “I wanna make HNW but I don’t know how to get started!” Panel 2-4: a hand appears from out of frame and hands our hero a DOD death metal pedal and a tiny Behringer mixer. Panel 5: The disembodied hand gives the thumbs up as our now sweaty and nervous hero sits a table with two DOD death metal pedals and the mixer. A patch cable extends out of frame, probably to an altoids tin full of ball bearings or some shit.

Box art for Adventure for the VCS, although I played it on the Atari 2600. In the foreground is a serpentine dragon in a hedge maze, in the background a knight rises a horse towards a castle flanked by large sinister trees.
A man wearing a tall black hat, a fur scarf, and a ragged shirt stands in a stone room, his arms outstretched over what appears to be a body wrapped in colorful cloth. A piece of fabric covered in Arabic writing is draped over the body .
A still from “The Color of Pomegranates”. The room is plain, with worn plaster walls and a dirt floor. in the foreground, a very pale woman in an ornate embroidered green and silver robe and elaborate headdress stands with arms outstretched, a sword in one hand and a chicken perched on the opposite shoulder. In the background two men kneel, one in a white robe and the other in a tasseled red shirt and black pants, a gold sash around his waist, a pair of gold wings on his back, and a mask on his face. Surrounding them are a pile of black fabric and an overturned blue vase.

Lake Billy the Kid was named after the legendary American explorer, astronaut and bon-vivant, who had been crucified around the year 2000 because it was discovered that he possessed the hindquarters of a goat. In Billy the Kid's time such permutations were apparently not fashionable. Lake Billy the Kid was perhaps the most ancient landmark in the world. It had been moved only twice in the past fifty thousand years.
