I remember when I first met Aaron Shaw of the Wicked Tinkers during the San Francisco Caledonian Club Highland games, or was it Seaside? circa late 1990s, we got to talking, and I kept having this nagging feeling that I had met him somewhere before. I have a good memory for faces. I never could place it so I figured he must’ve looked like somebody I knew. And it was merely a coincidence. And then when I was scanning old negatives, there he was. Since I have photos of him in a few different spots at the Santa Rosa fairgrounds clearly I spent some time following him around with my camera.
Aaron Shaw, 1982 SFCC Games, Santa Rosa. I've known him a whole lot longer than I thought! Scanning all my old negatives. Oy! Found a slew of pix of him, Peter Capp playing piobaireachd too. What a rollercoaster. I must admit I did a double-take as I was scanning those negatives, never expecting to find anyone I knew, other than Bill Merriman. Obviously I was following Aaron around, as I have several shots in other places. All out of focus.....
Confirmed: Aaron Shaw and Francis Elheran. And Cutty Sark’s knickers. There's enough sleeve there to go into the sailmaking business! Just a few years ago. Yeah.
