I was cleaning up my hard drive this weekend and discovered attachments to email and loose images floating around. Opening them up, I discovered a bunch of images documenting some of the people on my team at AltaVista. They date back to when James Young was Creative Director (early 1999 - before I took over from him) and he left to freelance and we had a goodbye lunch at Chevy's. Ryan Sims is in this pic - he went on to work for Peter Merholz at epinions - back before I had ever heard of him. I am not exactly sure when the rest of the images were shot (sometime in 2000) - I know not all were shot by me, since I am in one - but they are fun for reminiscing. The single designer image was sent to all of us who were let go in January 2001, by the lone remaining designer. He is having lunch at our lunch/work table.

Happily - we have all gone on to other interesting and challenging things with new people and new teams, but we still keep in touch.
