Yet More Pictures My Parents Took

[poliphilo]

I don't know where this was taken. I have no memory of being in a row boat with my father. The pipe surprises me too. I thought he'd given up smoking much earlier.



This is me in my hippy phase (some might say I never grew out of it.)  I believe the year is 1969 and I'm about to walk to Glastonbury.



I know I look about 12, but I didn't start wearing glasses until I was 20- so this was probably taken in 1971.

The child is the father of the man :)

And that is a wonderful portrait.

Seriously so. ^_^ I've never met our host, and only first made our acquaintance with him a year or two ago, yet that photo does so seem to embody what I know of his essential nature. ^_^

I wonder if I took a picture of whichever parent was snapping me? If so it hasn't survived.

I keep expecting nazis.

My mother has a collection of snapshops she took in Germany in the 1930s. Perhaps some day I'll get round to scanning them.

That would be awesome.

These photographs are making me so happy! I love them, all the details.

Thanks.

you were a great looking kid!

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

I was, wasn't I! I could have wreaked havoc if I'd known it at the time.

That hippy pic - you are obviously channeling the spirit of Snufkin. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snufkin

Snufkin, c'est moi!

What beautiful pictures! They're so luminous.

Love the hippy one! Can I steal if for a creative writing exercise at school?
