Ah, the 80's--an era defined by big hair, shoulder pads, and synth-pop music!  My friend Dan (that's him on the far left) recently stumbled on a treasure trove of pics from various bands he was a part of and sent me some scanned images.  In his words, "You took almost all of these! Thank you for documenting this memorable time!" This particular incarnation was known as "Sector," and in addition to Dan (drums), I was also friends with Jeff (bass - front right), and Tony (lead singer - back center)--we were all in a church youth group together!  What I remember more than taking this image, is developing/printing it in the darkroom at the Montecito (Santa Barbara) campus of the former Brooks Institute--I can still taste/smell the chemicals!  It was a carefree, heady time, and I loved all of it.
