I came across these pictures back around Christmas time when I was at my parent's in KC. They're all fairly funny and as is the way old pictures go - memorable. The Bowman family albums have some great stories in them but these are just a few.

I was a bunny. I look eerily the same.

Dad and I in Brazil when my parents came to get me. His look is flawless.

Reas and I after we picked up our dog Bailey (RIP). She used to eat our socks.

Reas and I in 1990. He probably beat me up after this picture.

Grand Lake with Aunt Cheryl. I am obviously well prepared.

Oh the family pictures. Dad had a bloody nose throughout the whole thing.

ROAR! One of my photographic masterpieces from when I was six or so.

Stephen Stills, Mom, and I. I just think this picture is funny.

SF '02? I actually just like this picture. No good stories.

SF China Town. I used to dress like a boy...kind of still do sometimes.

Homecoming '02? Clare Feeley is backing up my weird face with another. I think we were all standing around watching Homestar Runner before the dance.

Rachel's mom left the camera on the tripod with a note "Take a few photos," so we did. I think they all looked like this. I also think this was the most fun we had all night.

"Think about the blood that's pumping keeping you alive.."

Things I should be doing besides sleeping...

1) taking photos

2)looking for a job that actually pays you

3)volunteering

4)running

5)anything else that's better than sleeping

Summer has come and gone. The air and water show is tomorrow and that to me is the beginning of the end. Soon kids will be trotting off to school, the air will get colder, and the leafs will start to turn. Time goes fast and I seem to be wasting a lot of it. I however need to get out of Chicago. Went to KC to visit my parents and ended up being sick the whole time. Major bummer. Now it's time for a brain break, some time for me to actually miss this city. Who knows when that will happen or where but I hope it involves a train ride and some coastal water action.

These photos are all sorts of out of order but oh well.

My friend Sorcha from my Dublin days has been traveling the US with her boyfriend David. They made a stop to Chicago and so we hung out.

We got Burger King drive through on our bikes this night. Needless to say, i was hurting the next morning.

Baby Mira was born July 7th.

The Flaming Lips had $5,000 worth of confetti at their Pitchfork show. It was fun, but a little excessive?
