Photos are an invaluable record of our past. I really like looking at old photos... even if they're not of people
I know. It's amazing to see all they capture. On my last trip to Colorado, I took my flatbed scanner and CD
burner and copied some of the old photos my parents have. My mom had never saved negatives... so the
copies you see, are the only copies that exist. So I was happy to get some copies. There were some
photos that I needed to adjust or edit. I hope you enjoy old photos too... here are some of mine.
Me and Larry as
Boyscouts. Like my
cool fade bell
bottoms?
Glen, Me, Jeff & Larry
in our first rock band in
High School. We were
Castle.
This is a photo of my mom... a few years before she was my mom. Adorable, huh?

Silva Family... the early years. Dawnie, Larry, Joe, and me.

Me and Larry. Christmas
in Tooele, Utah
See? I used to be cute!
We weren't twins, but mom dressed us up like we were. Larry and me looking festive in Utah.

Me and my best friend, Jeff... dressed up for prom. I think we were doing a Starsky and Hutch pose here.
|
Aaahh! Two teenagers in love.
This is my mom and dad before
Larry and I came along. I think
they were just married.
I was a happy kid... even if
you left me alone on a rock
on a raging river where I
could of been swept away
forever.
This is one of my favorite photos of my grandfather, Sedonio (my mom's dad)... cutting the cake at his 75th birthday.

Here's my dad as a teenager. He played in bands at a very young age also.

Here's a photo of our family band, The Regals. Tommy Martinez, Me, Dawnie, Joe, and Larry Silva.
