Time's a funny thing - when I joined this forum I was 25 and here I am at 52
So many things have happened since then - got married, became a published author, had my photo work
on a show with Betty White, my Mom passed away

, watched the kids in the family grow up and have families of their own, you get the idea.
Back when I joined, I was briefly in between jobs and history decided to repeat itself after my position was eliminated this past July. In the earlier days of the forum, the usual approach was to take a batch of photos and upload them soon after. Instead, I'm going to follow sopas ej's lead and start a thread and update it from time to time, starting with a few from earlier this year. Not going to lie, hoping I won't have
too much time aka I'll be landing a new job sooner than later

An apartment building somewhat recently built on a former junkyard overlooking the industrial valley. Its official name is Electric Gardens, I prefer to call it the Imperial Barge (a la Star Wars)
Also in 1997, where I had my first job in downtown Cleveland - and I'm still in the graphic design industry
The new Sherwin Williams headquarters under construction in case you didn't know.
