I invited Keith to join Friendster in March of 2004. For those of you unfamiliar with Friendster, it's basically a social networking site. Keith reluctantly joined, and hardly ever visited the site, as far as I can tell. Still, he did create a profile.
He posted as his primary picture the old lady he and I shot at the World Trade Center site (you can see that picture here, too). He also posted the picture above...typical Keith, taking a picture of himself with his own camera. That sly smile, up to mischief.
On his profile, he wrote some telling things. I've copied a few entries here; I think it's interesting, because it's how Keith saw himself:
