Beautiful People
Naturally the very first image that had to be scanned with the new toy was this one, from 1973.
I love these period portraits: you just marvel at the hair! the beard! the tinted spectacles! (and the droopy shape of them!) the slenderness! the gorgeous young woman on my arm!
This was, indeed, the storyteller that was to be, and his Muse.
When I showed it to Alison, she said, "But that doesn't look anything like us, now!" Not so, mea cara amicula, corculum meum: we still are those beautiful people, even 30 and more years later. But it's strange to think that in the picture, we are younger than most of our children are now.
