![]() Photographs began at Yahoo in Silicon Valley California. David Filo and his technical support staff were getting pumped up. They were ready to wage war on any potential "Y2K bugs". No one knew if the computers would survive. News stories warned us the world might stop if the computers failed. Yahoo turned the work night into a bunker down party with all hands on deck. |

Perks left Silicon Valley and headed to Walnut Creek. A roaring twenties
party was taking place at the Dollar Steamship Mansion in Rossmore. Mr. and
Mrs. Jordon were in the mood to celebrate. She is wearing her grandmother's
dress from 1900.

stop was the "Millennium Mansion" owned by Michael and Bonnie Zumbo in Danville.
It was a formal dinner affair at their private residence with 100 of their
closest friends. I arrived at dinner time. Getting everyone together
for this shot was a trick. Good thing Bonnie is a take charge lady. A group
cheer and I was out the door again.

My thanks to all that made this shoot possible. Sara Ross and Julie Beddone at Yahoo. The Zumbos who welcomed me into their party. And, a special thanks to Eve Liang who stayed up all night in order to process my film in time for the News Week deadline of 8 AM PST on January 1, 2000. Who needs sleep anyway. I started scanning at 6 AM and got my pictures delivered on time! Happy New Years! |
