High School Graduation Day 1972

Hey man farout

Might be long ago and far away but the look takes me straight back to the early 70s and the instamatic signature. Maybe the glove box had an effect but I remember this look from film which was processed soon after use.

In terms of colour it reminds me of shots I took in 1970 of my parents' 25th wedding anniversary. It seems like yesterday sometimes until I have a few sobering thoughts such as both my parents have been dead for a good number of years and the wife and I are approaching our 34th anniversary ourselves! It can be chilling to recall the passing of time.

In those days any colour was better than no colour i.e. B&W was only used by the "poor" and 6x4 prints were about the max, both in terms of resolution acceptability and affordability.

We have come a long way since then. Pity the clock has been ticking steadily onwards though.

This has brought back memories of those days. Thanks

Ha! I recognized your immediately. Havn't changed at all.
Best, Jim

Very nice. If it was 126 it should be a square frame I think? I love the colour shift.

BTW, those are blue suede shoes, button-fly bell-bottom jeans, and a Union Suit. Wish I still had that belt (and that it still fit).

It was originally a square print but cropped in the scan.

Wow Joe! Those were the days.

Joe - you've BARELY changed...
