The 70’s

Fit To Be Bow Tied

“Me and my brother, mid 70’s, in the classic bully shot. Can hardly blame him for pounding on me with my bow tie and vest, though. Thanks, mom and dad.”

Baby Shark

“This is me in 1976 in my bedroom. My father thought putting a pool table in my bedroom was an appropriate birthday gift for a kid my age.”

The Grand Banana

“Family vacation around 1974. We drove all the way to California with my father taking dozens of rolls of film. By the time we did a swing by the Grand Canyon, we were all tired. We got out of the car and this is the sole photo my father snapped of us. We spent about 3 minutes there. Long enough for my mom to finish that banana.'”

Buzzkill

“Iran, 1970s. I was 5 years old and in the picture (I’m the smallest) with my cousins. My mum thought shaving all our hair off would make our hair roots stronger!”
