The UnFoto'd
Sep. 11th, 2009 10:11 amThere must be a huge number of us (i.e. in mid thirties and up) that have sparse photographic record of huge chunks of our lives, notably our teenage and twenties years.
{Most of my own fotos got lost when my siblings sold our family home but that's another matter}.
Taking fotos of ourselves every week - every DAY!! - was not a technologically easy option.
As well as that, I think there was a whole different mindset involved.
Its kind of a shame not to have much more than the usual "loony" photobooth pics from Woollies, but at the same time it perhaps left us freer to be less self-conscious.
Another scaffolding pic --- if i had one teenage foto fr every pic i have of STUFF nowadays i'd probably be pickled by embarrassment anyway - or permanently in tears.
