I have been clearing out my moldering collection of photo dumps from the soon-to-be-retired sorabji.com/pictures site, and moving the keepers over to px.sorabji.com. I found this set of three photos of me outside 9 West 57th Street in 1995. These pictures are from soon before I left my job at that building to throw caution to the wind and go build these things called “web sites” for Time-Warner, a company which had begrudgingly acknowledged that then-crazy fad called the “World Wide Web”. The mouthful “WWW” is better known now simply as “The Internet” or “Da Web”.

These are damn good pictures, even with me in them. I know I posted them here already but for good measure, and to be sure they sear themselves into your brain, I post them again. Photographer Joe Gioia is to blame for these. Look for him at VisibleRepublic.com.
