Project: Upon turning 50 years old on August 16, 2020, Dave Olson (me, hello) is posting a photo (or maybe photos) a day / per year – starting with 1970 with intent of chronicling existence through various primary evidence sourced from studio portraits, class photos, ID / passport photos, or occasionally other “casual/group/random” shots when the above don’t exist in my archive (note: not “artificial intelligence,” really me, pulled from shoeboxes, journals, wallets and whatnot – diligently scanned and dated via glasses and haircuts, lightly annotated).

Diary: Ichiro clothes hanging to dry

Ichiro set for sharp outfits for a bit. Sorting into “now” “soon” & “later” piles.

Thank you for all the wonderful gifts, having so much fun dressing him up (though I always want to wear matching outfits #WorkingOnIt)

Also working on special “thank you” cards for the folks who sent things along (as usual, i’ve over-complicated this idea but totally worth it, right?)

Notebook of Importantness – the future in writing (daveo50 pen)

Notebook of Importantness

Behold, my commemorative DaveO 50 fountain pen – Sailor brand from Hiroshima. Thanks Ryoko! 

PS A lot of importantness going into this important notebook with a very important pen. The future is written, partially.

So many big moves, some of them complicated, some of them pleasurable, most of them necessary. I like the ones that involve you.
