1968-1969

This is me in September of 1969. Being 15
I was too young to go to New York for a concert. But old enough to be influenced for life.
Did I say I was a Gemini? I found this photo booth shot in with my stuff. I guess the serious side of me comes through. I think I was 13 or 14.
I have a pea coat on so it has to be winter.

Goofy Freshman! I remember I straightened my hair and it got a bit lighter. I sure had great skin though. I don't post too many pictures of my self but how do you go back in time with out starting with yourself. My mom will like this, although the dark me she won't remember.

Your right, your skin was fantastic.

I think you look beautiful in all the pics. I lightened my hair once (twice, 3 times???) and told my younger sister how much I MISSED my dark hair. Then I stopped...thought...and said...

No...I just miss my young face. :(

Sweet Post!

Hi - I love the photographs - I remember how adult I was feeling in 1969 and how ready I was to go to woodstock with my friends. I was 13! We were going to go with the 17 year old sister of a friend. So. I'm thinking about going to woodstock on the 40th anniversary and being there at sunrise. I'd have to get on the road by about 4AM - My family (10 and 12 years old) were there at yasgur's farm just about 6 weeks ago. Took pictures, saw the hippie bus at the Bethel Woods Museum. We had a great time. I enjoy your work - Thanks.
