My guess on this shot is somewhere during the winter of '66. That Chevy in the driveway puts this on Bishop Street, one of my old hangouts. That's not an iPod in my hand there, but what it is I have no idea. My guess is that it's some book. In HS with the Jesuits, I was constantly reading something. I'm also dating this by what I'm wearing here. It looks to be one of my paisley shirts under my corduroy double-breasted winter coat. This image was sent along to me from friend JL. I have no idea what I was up to in this photograph. When I got into high school and started chasing the fair gender, I had lots of days like this.
Confusion reigned.
And I was a royal.
I believe this in an early photo of one of the Beatles. Note the mop top hair and the sly smile. He just knows that the old Chevy is going to be a classic.
ReplyDeleteI'm with TFG ! A little Mac Cartney side !
ReplyDeleteWe had the chance to live times when our clothes and hair helped us to put a date on pictures ! :o)
Throwback Thursday photo (on Facebook) for sure!
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the above comments! Where's your guitar?
ReplyDeleteOh well everybody's already been here saying that you were the lost Beatle...
ReplyDeleteYep, my first thought was Paul McCartney. When I was 12 years old, I was convinced that I would grow up and marry him. I guess Elenka beat me to it!
ReplyDeletepretty cute. :) i thought of the beatles, too.
ReplyDeleteWell, I have to agree that you looked like you belonged with the Beatles. Ah! What grand memories!
ReplyDeleteOne more vote for the Beatles' doppelganger. xx
ReplyDeleteNice shot all in all for a black an white at night. I was in sixth grade in Utah at the time.
ReplyDeleteRemember that kind of of confusion, it was only a few years later for me... By the way, it is always nice to look back at a real B&W!
ReplyDeleteYou look very chic!
ReplyDeleteAh - those were the days ...
ReplyDeleteA book Birdman.. what a novel idea :) You look a little Beatle-ish in this one!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very '66 to me! Those were the days!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Grace, you a Beatle looks to me too.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely look like a Beatle!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it would be a good Maine coat.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, be still my heart.
ReplyDeleteI like the Beatles haircut.
ReplyDeleteGeez, I though George Harrison visited Portland. The Jesuits were no fun but I sure learned a lot under their supervision. Some of it was garbage, some not.
ReplyDeleteOf course -- you were confused -- you read too much -- barbara
ReplyDeleteA Beatle, my first thought!
ReplyDeleteScrolling through your blog I see you in your Kilt and also commenting about Scottish school names. Kelso Washington is proud of it Scottish heritage. the high school nickname is the Highlanders. There even is a Highlander Festival every year. this year September and it is in Tam 'O Shanter Park. Overkill???
