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).

Ichiro: card #29 “1st draft pick” (for Canucks) / 8.3
Ichiro Stanley card #29
Our #1 draft pick
(Watching Game 1 of Canucks vs Wild in NHL Stanley Cup, play-in round)
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)
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.
