Pictures of you when you were younger - PhotoCamel

Paul Shields · 04-04-2008

I'm sure we all have them (well, those of us who've achieved a certain age) - those old long forgotten images that, once rediscovered, remove all of those rose tinted memories of your hip youth. A friend of mine sent me a few pics of when we were in a band together 28 years ago. It was a mixture of feelings - one was that it was great to see the old faces captured as we once were, the other was the realisation that we've all moved on quite a bit since then, but I still wish I was in a band

.

Anyone else got some shots of themselves from all those years ago? If so, I'd love to see them along with any memories of the moment.

A snapshot taken in someone's house. I'm the one on the right. The guy in the middle is actually now a very successful film composer living in LA. Jealous, me?

.

Our biggest concert performance. Taken a week after the assassination of John Lennon (December 1980), on the steps of St George's Hall in Liverpool. I'm on the right again. None of us were over the age of 16. I think we peaked too soon

Yeah, but you're the handsome looking one!

Very nice thread! I'll have to dig up some old photos for the scanner.

Excellent shots Bob

Nope. Glassy eyes on the right.

Were you an Osmonds tribute band or something?

In the words of the late Mitch Hedberg, "all pictures of you are when you were younger."

This is me. Both these photos were originally taken in 1967. I stumbled onto these photos a couple of years ago, and shot them with a macro lens, hence the poor quality.

Another one from the same year with my girl friend of the time.

Gary, excellent stuff. It seems we have a muso theme going on here. Interesting
