Amazing October Update

This has been quite a week and I want to start by saying thank you so much for all your support in spreading the word and generously donating to the kickstarter page. I am so filled with joy that all of you would like to be a part of this idea, Thank you so much. Recently the Treasure Island Museum Association and the SFMOMA Library have endorsed the project with amazing support and you can see an announcement about the project on the front page of the TIMA website website. I have also updated the “Thank you Awesome Peoples” page and all the backers are up to date. I can’t wait to see you all in person to truly express my gratitude. More updates and video coming soon

Amazing Support from the TIMA team, thank you Walt!

Kickstarter is on the verge of release

Hello everyone, I have been busy getting the kickstarter.com campaign underway and was foiled in the last step by an amazon verification.  Once that has gone through the project will go live for donations.  Its been a lot of work and I feel great about the project and this kickstarter experiment, can’t wait to show you all.  THANK YOU so much for all the support and patience so far, updates coming soon.

Polaroid rewards for your Kickstarter generosity

Been busy rounding up all the polaroids I have taken over the year on the island.  An original framed, signed, and dated polaroid is planned for one of the rewards on the kickstarter campaign.  Would love to get them into your hands.  Will post some more as they are scanned.  Thanks everyone, the big day is getting close!

Kickstarter.com campaign starting to gain speed

Putting together the video for kickstarter.com these last couple of weeks and have stumbled onto some great footage from archive.org and the Prelinger Archives. I am so thankful there are folks spending time and money to preserve the lost nik-naks of history. Truly a great resource to gain ideas from the past.Image
