Just for the fun of it
It was probably in 1975 when Mom threw a party for the neighborhood kids, just for the fun of it. I see Robyn and Tammy and Brian and Michael; Sally and Sherrie and Jay; Angie and Denise and Laurie. I feel sorry for the girl directly behind me in the middle, as her identity is forever lost. That's my brother next to me.

Oliver Row Crop 77. My dad worked for Oliver when I was small. Quality control. And then I worked in software quality assurance and my son works in pharma quality. Wonder which strand of the DNA that is. Nikon N2020, 28-105 AF Nikkor, T-Max 400, Ecofilm 1+1. #believeinfilm #filmphotography
