in searching for photos of my crafts from the mid-1990's, i came across some old negatives. i have this old gizmo that i bought from an airline magazine (maybe united?) a long time ago where you feed your old negatives and it would come out in the computer screen in positive. because it's so old i only managed to get a couple of negative strips before the bloody thing stopped working, and for the love of me, i couldn't figure out what i did that made it work and what i did that it stopped functioning. in any case...
this was i think taken in 1981 by the then 4-year old son who liked taking the camera and aiming it at my face. if he wasn't keen on taking my picture, i probably would not remember how i looked then. as i was wearing a robe, and reading the newspaper, it must've been morning. i could not remember myself looking like this, the jaw line distinct from the neck. the blemishes are from the negative being so old and hauled all over europe and oman before finally ending in canada. also, if this was in 1981 then john lee would still have been alive then. there was another photo where i had a lot of hair.
i didn't look bad at all, did i? lucky that first mr. summerfield!
