Got my first 'real' camera almost 40 years ago: canon canonet QL17 GIII. I was 16. It was an amazing image capturing machine! It really ignited my love for photography and I moved on to the SLR format later and thought I'd never look back.
But you get older, your kids grow up, and you DO look back.
Tonight, I loved going thru the old slides taken with the canon and remembering with bittersweet smiles the folks long gone, capured in those little cardboard boxes; and also comparing my siblings (then) to my kids, my nieces and my nephews (now). What a trip it's been.
Here's a self portrait from the days when my biggest worries were how long to grow that "King Valiant" mane, and what was on at the drive-in movie that night.
Good times.... (and those florescent green walls were actually MUCH more jarring than captured here).
