hello, lost photos

I've recovered my "lost" photos from 2006. They were in the last place I could have possibly found them - in a roughly-labeled, free-floating DVD from who knows when exactly. My main set of backups were made too late - they were dated to after the destruction of the images. Happily, I recovered about fifty of them.

This is one from the 'lost' set.

And another.

And hey, one more.

And one of my girl.

For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little -- a movie song here or a TV ad there.
