Photos from your Youth

Haven't changed a bit

It might just be Texas, but I'm thinking if Texas does it, then there's a good chance OK and LA do it, too ;-)

True, true.

That's an amusing bumpersticker on the VW.

At first I thought it said "To All Vegans, Thanks for Nothing". I thought to myself ... "well now, that's refreshingly ahead of it's time! Isn't it?"

Did you also notice the quart of Stroh's sitting on the bumper?

Did not notice that.
Fire brewed. Cool bottle back then.

All I see is Tim Curry in Rocky Horror. I don't know why.

Possibly because you have problems. Deep problems. Or because TheCADJockey has seen blue skies. Through the tears, in his eyes. Wait no, now I'm the one with problems.

Another of which is that I was never very photogenic for much of my memory. Camera evasion skill level maxed out. One photo that is somewhere archived in a shoebox with a bunch of other 25 year old stuff is me. I'm in the kitchen, standing on a chair, holding a manual hand crank beater, wearing a red plastic mixing bowl on my head. Take that Gordon Ramsay!

Back in the highschoolzoic era, we had group cave paintings. I still have to go down in the basement to find copies of them. I can't believe I was ever a tall skinny kid. Not even sure anyone cares to see'em?

Probably. Chumps.

Lost almost all photos of my youth in the big Oakland fire but just had someone post this for me from right after.

Sometime in the early 90s.

Good gawd what is THAT thing on her lap?

 

[TheDudeLebowski]

I think it's some kind of phone.

It was the predecessor to the cell phone but had limited functions, it only recorded videos.

 

[Homercidal]

Dude your mom is hot!

Like the VHS recorder we borrowed from her sister for the SoCal trip. You set it on your shoulder & adjusted the eyepiece to see what you were filming. Still have the tapes with a ghost ball shooting through the frame in one of the cabins on the Queen Mary.

So you're into GILFs?

The photo is a family friend Sheri, we are a few years apart. I am probably 22 in the photo. Here is my mom and my sister Stacey. Ever hear the song Stacey's Mom?

Me and my older brother in the first picture. From left to right me, my wife, and a couple of friends at another friend's wedding reception in the second picture.

I remember the predecessor to this. My dad had a beta max that had two components one was the programmer and the other was the Betamax player. When you wanted to video you needed to carry the Player/recorder in a huge bag thrown over your shoulder and have a the also huge camera attached by a cable. It did not even have 4G.

 

[hunter_le five]

It did not even have 4G.

How primitive.

 

[unionrdr]

The one we used came after that, being self-contained. Worked pretty darn good too! Film was pretty clear, considering the format.

Film still has great quality. Keep your ISO low so that you have smaller silver nitrate to work with and the end result is clearer. Of course you'll need to work a smaller F# to increase your aperture size and get proper exposure without an unnecessarily long shutter time that could result in blurring.

And with that I'm officially old.

 

[unionrdr]

I don't remember the settings I used anymore, but that was essentially it. The right aperture makes it work well with F stop. Still have the tapes upstairs.

 

[Homercidal]

So you're into GILFs?

Ok, so maybe not ALL GILFs, but I do know a couple I'd consider getting romantic with, if they were willing and my wife OK's it, and they fill out a disclaimer and get properly tested...

And who could resist that kind of romance!

I'm the tall one. The short ones are my mom & sisters. Circa 2002. I no longer have hair.

July of '83. I still lack muscle definition.

 

[estricklin]

My dad and I trout fishing when I was about 13 on the Buffalo River. I think it was about 1998.

 

[hunter_le five]

Since BK went there, here is two years after previous picture in an awkward goth phase I'm not too proud of. Oh college.

Bump for posterity.

 

[passedpawn]

I'll play. Here's a video from 1985. I'm the vocalist channeling Chuck Berry. I guess I was 20. Yes, that's a piece of toilet paper on my head (there was beer involved, I'm sure).

That is a way cool pic! Has a certain bit of "Americana" to it. Also a little envious --- I don't have any pictures of my Dad and me fishing...

 

[BUCKNUTS]

Man some of these pics are pure gold. Here's a bad pic of an old pic of me about 4 years old and the second coming of Dennis the Menace. This was in 1971.

My siblings called me Jon Jon the monster brat and my wife says it still applies.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I don't know if it belongs here or in the Party Pics thread, but this is where it landed. I was 26 or 27 at the time.
