Finding Us

Where in the world are Frank and Gina?
This is a page about us, our friends and our travels.

Here we are at the MD Renn faire on Jessica's 18th Birthday.

Here's a couple of quick shots of me and some of my buddies at local paintball field.

These guys take this paintball stuff very seriously.

Here are some Pictures from Talia's Baby Shower 08/23/03

Here's a picture of the cake.

I bought her the rocking chair.

Gina and Jessica help make a casting of Talia's baby belly.

OK so here we are at Shore Leave 2003

Note: I'm still waiting for some pictures from the Revelations wrap party Friday night.

First some shots from Friday night.

Holland and her friend look through the big book of songs.

Gina and Holland belting out a song at Vic's place.

Here's a shot of Nick, Jess, Mike, and Talia that night.

Okay on to Saturday.

These are our Next Gen. Imperial costumes inspired by the novel Dark Mirror by Diane Duane.
I'm Imperial Riker and Gina is Evil Imperial Deanna.

Mike was a good sport about dressing up with us.
I made the pins which I meant to look like a stylized dagger through the UFP symbol.

I thought these came out pretty well considering the time we didn't put into them.

Don't mind Gina she was very tired that day.

Here's a shot of Gina with BarBara Luna who played Marlena Mareau in "Mirror Mirror" the original Imperial episode .

Here's a shot of Jess in a costume she just threw together in the craft room.
She went on to win first prize with it that day at the NJ Renn. Fest.
The wings are by LBF.

On June 25th 2003, a very special, once in a lifetime event took place.
My daughter Jessica graduated from high school.
I was, as you might well imagine, very proud, and happy.
Here are some shots.

Here are Gina, Talia, and Nick as we wait for the big moment.

Wait!
What's this? An unexpected guest . . .

Yep. It's Mike! Jessica's step dad.

Mike's a good guy and was most welcome.
(I'd also like to thank him for most of these pictures.)

Jess and her buddy Chris

Jessica and me.

Grampa and Aunt Denise.

Jess and Mike.

Hugs good-bye.

Two happy dads.

This past early June I had to drive down to Va. for a shoot with the Revelations crew on my birthday.
Being an altogether awesome group of folks, they did their best to make it a very special day for me.

First they took me out for Sushi and Samurai's.
To be fair this shot is after more than a couple.
In fact, the one I'm holding here was probably Shane's,
which I, uh, . . . liberated.
(Sorry buddy you snooze, you loose.)

Speak of the devil, here is shot of my friend, our host for the evening, and our director himself.

Here is a shot of Holland.

Here is a great shot of Gina and Holland.
(They only play sisters folks.)

Here I am getting ready to have some . . . cake.

Look . . . camera.

Haaaapppy Birthhdayyyy to meeeeee.

Haaapppy Birshhdayyy to meeee.

Thanks again to everyone for a great time.
Especially Dawn, our other host, and Sarah for taking all these pix.
("I'll take a dozen 8x10 glossy . . . you know where to send them.")

Here is a shot from between takes on our shoot on 5/3/03.
Special Thanks to Brian S. for sending us this picture.

Here we are at Farpoint 2003 in costumes from the film with our fearless director Shane.
Shane is wearing another costume, the uniform of Corellian Security (Corsec) forces, also from the film.

Great Fun!
Here we all are at Farpoint 2003.
Nicholas (center) later discovered the card gaming room and had a great time.
(Thanks to Dale for this awesome shot of us.)

Here I am with Jessica who is wearing Gina's classic trek costume and a wig.
I'm dressed as Declan from Revelations.

Here is Jess and Doug.
(Thanks to Doug and his digital camera for these cool pix.)

Here I am with Shane and Darth Zippy.

Here is Jessica at the 10 Forward dance party, dancing with our good friend Shane.

Jessica teamed up with these Klingons for the Farpoint 2003 Masquerade.
They went on to win Most Humorous.
