Hi all,

I've been a POV-Ray user since I was 7 years old, and recently we uncovered an
old archive disk that had my earliest scenes on it!

My dad was writing his own raytracer in 1987 on a MicroVAX I. In addition to the
archive disk, we also recovered an old Betamax tape of his work from that time
period.

I recorded an interview where he and I discussed all of this and showcased the
recovered artwork. It's going to premiere on my YouTube channel on June 18
(loosely in honor of Father's Day).

I hope it's okay if I share the YouTube link here: https://youtu.be/MXErvBZ3CGI

The video features a huge amount of my old POV-Ray work, spanning from 2000 to
2007. When it premieres I'd love to hear what you all think! :-D
