Project Codename: CD MurderDeathKill 1997

What It Was All About:

Back around the end of March, 1997, I was in the midst of two days off from work, and was on IRC one night, bored as usual, when Kyousuke remarked about having four CD's that he wasn't interested in listening to anymore, and announced on the #anime! IRC channel that he was going to destroy them by running over them with his car. (Little did he know how futile that effort would prove...)

Since I was bored out of my skull, and facing the inevitable decision of what to do with a weekday off, I told Kyou I'd be willing to come up and watch him do it, and take pictures (Having something like this page in mind for such), so, he set a time, gave me directions to his place, and the next day, I was off for Kyou's house, to watch him destroy some perfectly good CD's....

It was me, my Red Raider 3, and my trusty Minolta Freedom Zoom 90C camera, and a 36-exposure roll of 100 speed film, chronicling Lionel Lum's attempts to destroy a few CD's for the hell of it. (Hey, it was stuff like this that inspired the creation of the IRC Breakfast Race!)

Notes About The Pictures Here:

All pictures here were taken with a Minolta Freedom Zoom 90C 35mm Autofocus camera, developed at the local Longs' Drugs, and scanned in with the amazing Snappy Video Snapshot from Play, Inc. Image cropping, border design, and some shadow removal and light reflection removal work were done with Adobe Photoshop 3.0. Other than that, what you see is what came out of my camera.

Let's begin now, shall we?
