My father wanted to be the next Walker Evans or Robert Frank.

My mother remembers it differently.

"Instead of paying the dentist, your father spent a lot of money on an expensive camera so he could take pictures of people without their heads or feet."

This is another one of Dad's portraits... a wedding portrait taken in 1976. I'm the guy sinking out of the frame on the right. I was the best man.

As bad as my father was with his Minolta, he was good with the scrapbooking. Long before Photoshop, Dad could stitch photos together better than a madman making a ransom note out of newspapers.

Dad shot this rock quarry in Michigan in 1970. The "stitching" was done with Scotch Tape and scissors. It is awesome.

Wore that tux in baby blue with black velvet trim and white ruffled shirt to my senior prom in 1976 🙂

@DemocracySpot Oooh. You should post a picture for ThrowbackThursday.

After this photo was taken, we had a wedding reception at the Ramada Inn. The hall had raised blue velvet flocked wallpaper.

I haven't seen Senior prom pics in years, but I wore a red crushed velvet number the year before. That's around here somewhere. :-)

Edit: ⤵️

📷 Me, 1975.

I had that haircut too.
In fact, we all had that haircut :)

Did you have the Farah Fawcett poster on your bedroom wall?

@DemocracySpot No, but my roommate had Shawn Cassidy.

Had to counter my Bruce Spitz in speedo with medals poster, didn't I?

@DemocracySpot Yeah.
Shirtless Shawn and Speedo Spitz shared one thing in common: shag haircuts.

Mine was a shag, no? With wings.
