1930

Looking through some old photos found one of my favorite, my grandma at 26 in Krimia (on the left). I like all the fashion details of 1930. The funniest part is that her girlfriends look kind of like drag queens ;-) (click on the photo to enlarge)

i had the most wonderful weekend

Lots of positive socializing with my friends from work and the club made me realize that I absolutely have to see people regularly. Staying at home and seeing only my physical therapists, as great as they are, is not enough to keep up with a good mood.

After enjoying our yearly photo essay, I decided to abtain (perchase or exchange) some images of my favorite photographers. This is one of the candidates.

natasha, happy birthday!

I didn’t realize until now that we are friends for over 30 years!!! For some reason, I see this photo as one of the finniest from our youth.
Помнишь, мы решили что наши лица одни из самых круглых на потоке? ;)

old slides

I am making some scans of old slides from 1988-89. Will post a few of my favorites. The quality of these 2 were so bad that I had to convert them to b&w.
