The Flood of 86

 

Heroic efforts by family to save my pictures


Example of damages slide

In the spring of 1986, there was heavy rain in Sacramento and local flooding. All of my possessions were stored in a public storage locker. The water reached high enough to flood most of my pictures. The photographs of my travels are very important to me, they document the most exciting times of my life. My parents and family did a heroic job of trying to save my most precious possessions. It was no small job. I have always believed that you should take lots of pictures, a few will come out good. I have over 5,000 photos and slides.

Though out my web site, you'll see pictures with flood damage. They are still my memories, and I will not abandon my photos just because they're damaged.
