Photo Requests
« on: July 04, 2008, 04:44:57 PM »
These have popped up a time or two but I thought I'd open a forum for these and a first request for any of the insiders. Are the photo montages still on the wall of the lounge? I would love to see them again and I'm sure the readers of the forums would love to see a good high def of SDC's past if anyone has the time/access/equipment. Here is a true insiders trivia!

Shame on you for never bothering to gaze in wonderment at the wizened elders who paved the foundations upon which the lofty hights you now live on were built. yep. those are the ones I'm talking about. I'm in the 80's one but I'm not saying who ;D

I'm not an insider, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing photos of FitH with the lights on and the employee photos montages! :D

Don't mean to steal your thunder Doc, but I had my camera at work today so I just went up to the lounge and took some shots.  These may not be the best quality because I had to stand to the side on some to reduce the glare from florescent lights, flash, etc.

These are of the photo montages.  Some of the people in these pictures I know or recognize, but most I do not.
