Wedding Day - June 1994

The morning of the wedding, my groomsmen met me at our unit for lunch before we headed off to the ceremony together.

Although you (deliberately) can’t see them in any of the wedding photos, we all wore cartoon socks – I’m on the left wearing the Marvin the Martian socks, then we had Pepe Le Pew and Snoopy as Joe Cool.

It got a laugh at the reception when we all stood up and hoisted our trouser legs to show everyone the socks.

Our family photo gallery (mostly used to hold the photos that we display on our blogs) has grown enormously since I set it up for Mum and Dad to use early last year. We now have over 1,100 photos (800 of which are from my father) – which have been viewed over 770,000 times!

These photos are shown in the following blogs:

• The Rhyme of Sim’ (you’re reading it now!)
• Mallee Native Plants Nursery (my mother’s blog about Australian Native Plants)
• Trevor’s Birding
• Trevor’s Writing
• Trevor’s Travels

Anyway, here are the top 10 most views photos from all of us (of course, by posting them here, they will probably extend their lead on the rest of the photos!).

These don’t necessarily represent the “best” photos (in fact, some of mine are quite poor quality!), they do represent some of the oldest photos (as expected), but more specifically, they most likely epresent the photos that people have found most often from Google searches!

A man and his car

My first car – a 1973 2-door Toyota Corolla … older than me by a couple of months.

The photo was taken in mid-1992, I would have been 18 or 19.

My Studio - 1990

My “studio” in my bedroom – Roland U20 and Casio CZ-5000 synthesizers, Alesis HR16 drum machine, CD player and tape deck, plus mini-mixer and microphone.
