Random Family Photo: 70s Beach

Me. On a beach. Somewhere. In 1973.

No idea who the girl is, but she has a real groovy 70s vibe, man. ;-)

Ruins of Exeter

I'm back in scanning mode, this time working through some negatives from 2000. These are from the very first weekend away I took with Lorna, and I was on the verge of discarding them as a bit rubbish, when I thought that they might look quite good in black & white. And they do, don't they?

This catches the mood of the weekend a bit better, though:

Tech, 1988 Style

This is my computer desk from the late 80s - probably '88 or '89. Yes, that's a portable TV it's connected to. And yes, that's a tape deck for loading programs…

RevStan might live to note the RSC production poster just visible in the top left of the picture. And yes, there's a hairdryer by the mirror. It was the 80s, I was a teenager. You blowdried.

Just noticed - two toy Daleks by the "monitor". WIN.

And some of the designs were decades old. I liked the designs of these tags so much, I've scanned them to preserve them for posterity:

Back to the 1990s

I did a little scanning last night of random photos I had lying around, so I could shred the originals and keep the digital copy.

Here's me and an old girlfriend of mine around 1993:

At the Valentine's Ball

Here's one of a series of pics shot of me for my student union election campaign:
