Me & My Mom 1971
My Uncle just emailed me this photo. Look how pretty my Mom is! This makes me happy on a grey day.
Still, I look at this photo, and even the deepest parts of me have a hard time acknowledging that I was ever a baby. I think I've so deeply aligned myself with fatherhood, that I often forget that I'm a son too.

That is a great photo. She is beautiful. And you sure are young! That was 1971?
Aye,
Could just as easily be a million years ago though....
Did your Uncle enhance the photo with color? I don't think they had color photos back in '71.
Really, I know what you mean. When I see pictures of me all I can see is the traits that I passed on to my kids - you know the ones that will cause years of therapy later in life.
Nice photo.
The colors look surprisingly good in that scan. Typically I'd enhance them further but this photo didnt need it. My Uncle is in his 70's but is Wiley enough to open Photoshop so perhaps he did adjust it!
You were just a wee Steak-Um back then.
That's odd. I don't have children - I have a hard time acknowledging that I'm an adult! I'm surprised every single time I look in the mirror - I still expect to see a 15-year-old kid looking back at me, not this 38-year-old schmuck...
What a great photo! Before she passed away, my gram mailed me all the photos she had of me as a child. They're pretty awesome, and make one think. And since all I have are the photos now of her and my mom, I'm even more attached to them.
They had color in 1971. I was born in 66 and photos after 1970 are all color. Prior to that, not so much.
strangely,
you are looking at the only photo I have of myself as a kid.
I cant stop looking at it. I keep looking at my Mom, and how she was at my age. Someday my kids will be looking at a photo of their mom the same way....that same 'WOW'
