Year: 2006

An old vinyl voice recording my paternal grandparents made in the 1950s.

The gate and our neighbors’ house. The workbench I built from scrap wood.

Pizzeria in the Verbal Building

In the afternoons, it’s a good place to get a cold beer.

A curiosity shop of books and prints. Edit: this place went out of business years ago and is now an expensive upstairs apartment.

Here we are in Sandy’s old apartment in Long Beach around the time we first met in 1993.
