DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE?


Most people that know me, know I usually have a camera in my hand, snapping pictures to document everything possible in life. I love photography, however, I am in every sense of the word an"amateur". I hope to change that and possibly integrate my hobby into a side business in the future. Pet photography would be right up my alley. So this post is just an online portfolio of some of my favorite shots from the past, all from the digital age, I hope you like them!

JIM IS FEELING A LITTLE NOSTALGIC, SO LETS GO BACK TO SCHOOL!



SCSU, Southern Connecticut State University, one of Playboys top 10 party schools in the 1980's. Boy I miss those people and those days, life was so much simpler then. What a blast we all had, I lived in Hickerson Hall, had a bunch of great friends that I am fortunate enough to keep in touch with til this day, thanks to Facebook! Chris, Flounder, Sheryl, Joan, Karen, Triskamania, Michelle Pags and a whole shitload of other friends. I am still trying to track down more pictures of "Van Hickerson" and all of the people from those days, but here is what I have for now, enjoy!


The "End of semester cake and beer fight" I think it was also Chris' birthday, I was scrubbing dried cake and beer off my room floor for 6 hours the next day!



BTW, that is me with the hair and grey sweatshirt!



Random pictures





The girlfriends dressed like us for Halloween!

The dangers of grain alcohol!



Ladies and Gentlemen....



VAN HICKERSON!!!!!



Our lip-synch, Van Halen tribute band, was such a hit on campus, people would ask us to preform at their keg parties and in the cafeteria, LOL!







Fake-playing the bass!




My ass.





WOMANIZING!



Go figure, LOL!







Joans Mom once described me as "The guy with his tongue out in every picture", how damn accurate!
