In 2002, some High School friends of mine that I had not seen in more than ten years decided to get together for a reunion. Since we had scattered to the four winds -- DC, Connecticut, San Francisco and Las Vegas -- we had to pick a location for the get-together, and Vegas was the popular choice.

Above: Rob Silva, Brian Hughes, Joe Santos and Tony Tisei, circa 1984. I am fairly certain I was making that face on purpose; to what end I can only guess. An enhanced portion of the photo is below.

Below, Joe Santos, Adrian Roberts (the artist formerly known as Tony Tisei), Rob Ryan-Silva and Brian Hughes, circa 2002. I make this face frequently.

Modern imaging tools allow us to enhance the dark, grainy old photograph to reveal interesting details.

No, seriously: which one of us looks more fabulous?

What's the point of even having a website if your coworkers can't see pictures of you in a hottub with a tranny in Vegas?

Joe desperately pretends to be having less fun doing this than he is.

Adrian called this t-shirt tribute to 9/11 the most genuine thing he saw in Vegas. It must be said that competition was less than fierce.

Brian, Joe and Rob put faith in the adage that black is slimming.

Joe, Adrian and I venture to Valley of Fire state park, just outside Vegas.

For some reason, it strikes me as oddly familiar.

Adrian comes to the conclusion that this rock formation makes him look even more fabulous.	Rob uses the only photographic trick he knows.

Joe "Flintstone" Santos asks, "would you like fries with that?"

Are you getting sick of this trick yet?
