Photo Album
This page has not been updated for a very long time. This is partly because pictures can be stored on
photo sharing websites. I have an account on at
www.flickr.com. Search for "dfjtees" on the "People" tab to find the
pictures that we have. Most of these are my wife's plant photos.
Click on the thumbnail to see larger versions. Both thumbnails and expanded versions are jpeg files.
The thumbnails are ~2 kb each and the larger versions ~20-200 kb.

This photo (20 kb) was taken by a freefalling photographer
when I went tandem parachute jumping for the first, and so far only, time.
It was quite the blast! |

This photo (30 kb) shows the denizens of my Ph.D. lab at
the Montreal General Hospital Research Institute in Montreal. From left
to right: Fiona McIntosh (the lab tech), me and Dennis Kwong (an M.Sc.
student in Physiology). The photo was taken by Dr. Takeshi Karino, a former
investigator at the Montreal (he's partially visible in the mirror at right). |

This photo (21 kb) shows my postdoctoral supervisor, Dan
Hammer (left) along with my Ph.D. supervisor, Harry Goldsmith (right).
The photo was taken at the 9th International Congress of Biorheology in
Big Sky Mountain Village, Montana in August 1995. The hulking object in
the background is a huge carved grizzly bear that graced the hotel lobby. |

My one moment to shine in the theatre was in McGill Savoy
Society's 1988 production of Gilbert & Sullivan's The Gondoliers. I
played Antonio who has one amazing solo at the very beginning where he
sings the virtues of being a Gondolier. In this photo (28 kb) I'm demonstrating
these virtues, to the admiration of the ladies, with my fellow Gondoliers
as backup. |

My Montreal friends used to hold regular potlucks at which
I used to be called to play guitar. Some days, your hands just feel so
inflexible. Thank heaven for open tunings at times like those! As can be
seen from the wild hair, this picture was taken a good long while ago. |

I lived in Ithaca, NY for nine months while doing a postdoc
at Cornell University. Whenever I had a visitor in town, a required outing
was dinner at the Moosewood
Restaurant in the Dewitt "Mall" (actually an old elementary
school in Downtown Ithaca that was home to all kinds of alternative and
art stores). This picture shows my Aunt, Miriam Tees, when she came for
a visit in Dec. 1995. Note the large stuffed moose in the background. The
stairway behind my Aunt is the original entrance (the restaurant used to
be tiny--the picture shows the expanded dining area on the right. |

These pictures show two views of my parents, Frederick
Tees and Eunice Tees. The first shows them crossing a stile during a 1998
trip to Scotland. The other shows them in front of the fireplace at our
cottage on Lac des Iles in the Laurentians. |

The best pictures taken during my travels seem to be of
crowds of people trying to view famous tourist sites. These pictures show
two of these. The first shows the crowded bleachers set up in Yellowstone
Park for people waiting to see Old Faithful geyser go off. The geyser
is actually out of view on the left edge of the photo. The geyser is impressive,
but the hordes of people waiting to see it are even more impressive to
my mind! The second photo was taken (without flash) in the Louvre in Paris
and shows crowds of people trying to get their own closeup photo of the
Mona Lisa (or "La Joconde" as the signs say). I got pretty close,
and she is pretty impressive but, again, the crowds of people doing the
same thing are even more impressive (and I wasn't even there at a particularly
busy time--Nov. 1999). The third photo shows crowds getting a picture of the
White House in Washington, DC in April, 2004. |

In August 2007, I got married to Melanie Schori. Several photos of the wedding are here. More will
eventually be put up on Flickr. |
