Smells like teen spirit
Instead of quoting a famous philosopher or more Nirvana here, I'll just say that I am likely to shoot my first moustache in this one. I was 17 or so. Lighting is a total accident, literally: municipal electric supply was flimsy in those days, and lights flickered every night.
I have lost the negative so I scanned it from a proof I made back then. As a result there is plenty of blind black in the dark end. But it was winter and dark anyway, so it kind of fits, I guess.

Perhaps we are the most creative as children. Then things like photography just don't interest us yet. After that it is just a veeeeery slow downhill... :-)

on ;-) sothanks for that .... it certainly has captured the "essence" of youth that
is seen in young lads ;-) I am sure most mothers with sons would look at this
and say ... oh yes ... I recognise that look ;-)
Spo replied to beverley:
I sometimes wonder if I started photographing to get rid of that teeny-whiny-weeny feeling! :-D
beverley replied to Spo:
then it takes courage to take a photo of yourself but as we get older we can
look back and smile ... and perhaps ...................... think wistfully ;-)

All the attention is drawn to the eyes, the staring gaze. Only one word comes up, intense.
This is truly a wonderful intriguing photo.

would or could be quite fearful ... yes it would make us hopefully make some
right choices ... but sometimes what we think are right at the time ... turn out
differently ... I have thought about this also ... ;-) I think in some things ...
its best not to know ... just like not knowing what is in front of us now as
we get older ... we would be fearsome of so many things ... yes ?
