Chicago

After school social at Darwin Elementary School in Chicago. - circa November 1971 As I remember it, I would be chasing the girls around with my camera and trying to take photos of them. I also remember bumper pool tables, ping pong tables and lots of Jackson 5 music playing. Such an innocent time. Oh to be young again:)

My first meeting with a childhood idol was at a mall appearance somewhere in the Chicagoland area, Spring of 1969. I don't remember which mall it was, but I do remember having lunch at a Woolworth in the mall.

Woolworth would serve you ice cold water in a cone shaped wax-coated paper cup that rested inside a metal holder. I can remember that metal holder being so cold to the touch that it would hurt. It's strange how certain things stay in your memory.

Seeing this photo brings back many great memories of watching "The B.J. & Dirty Dragon Show".

I take pictures. I document history in the making. My cat rolls over and yawns. I take a picture. My baby sneezes. i take a picture. Someone coughs. Someone else sneezes. Picture, right? How much is too much? Can anything stand out in the vast sea of digital files that people are snapping every second of every single day?
