Santa Cruz ...1984Something so wonderfully cheesy about photo booth photos. I appreciate their strangeness.
That's my old pal D.P. He came down to visit us in Santa Cruz, and we took my (little tiny) son to the beach and boardwalk. I think the child liked the merry-go-round more than the photo booth. D.P.'s hat is an Interstellar Propeller hat. A group of us often wore them to shows. We were The First church of Fun.
D.P. is one of the old tribe that I don't see much, anymore. Things always change.
But there were days between...

I bet it seems like yesterday sometimes!
I love the smile!
Cute! ; )
My boy was 2 then......those were the days, huh?!
Do you know Shady Backflash?
Really, what great smiles!
Aloha!
You look utterly happy in that pix. Life was good, yes?
alan: when i look at my son here @ 2 yrs., and see him these days, i definitely realize it was long ago and far away. time waits for no one, right?
coffee: those certainly were sweet times, with our now-grown sons. lucky us.
irenie:i know him by his face at shows, for certain. not sure if i ever talked to him though. my little crew wore their prop-hats mostly throughout the 80's. they were from places like napa valley, santa cruz, eureka, etc. i bet we do know a few of the same folks, knowing how interconnected it all turned out to be.
mark: thank you. i realize lately that i don't smile as much and as big as i once did. that was a sad realization, and one i am working to remedy. being on hilo side induces many smiles!
hill: i do indeed. and yep, life was good, at the tender age of 26.
so very young. sigh...
great photo! I, too, love photo booth photos - time in a bottle, eh?
Perhaps it is this 50 thing that has us weighed down by the enormity of it all...i sure am nostalgic myself these days. I'm waiting to turn, turn, turn, turn and look ahead instead, knowing the past was good, and the future can be even bettah!
Your spirit is vibrant, Annie, and your smile is too.
thanks tara, and they really are fun. i remember taking pics at the boardwalk with my best gal pal when we were like, 14. wish i could find those!
this 50 shit is a mental challenge, so far. all i keep thinking (and singing) is where does the time go?
counting on increasing the bliss factor during this new phase of my life.
P.S.
Happy Birthday, Tara! My sibling/baby brother turned 47 yesterday.
Wow, were you stoned! LOL!
