Apr 18: 20 years older?

Well, it maybe as little as 18. Continuing on from yesterday’s PotD, here’s a picture SP I took in my student bedsit sometime between 1984 and 1986. I made sure all my precious things were in the shot, the guitar, the stereo, the tv...

Here’s the 2004 version. Better guitar, better amp, a more recent pair of Sennheiser headphones, the iBook replaces the B&W portable, and a much older me!

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1s f/11.0 at 32.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I am really enjoying your "then and now" photos and am impressed by the what you have done to recreate the scenes. This is so fantastic.

Ah, you look like you're holding together okay. But yeah, sometimes looking back at
ourselves from two decades past, we almost wish we knew then what we know now. And
so with that in mind, Carpe Diem -- so that 20 years from now we can say we made
some good use of our time these days. In any event, good seeing yesterday's image
and this one you made for today.

Cool. I wish I had some shots of me like that. I'll have to look, but I was nevre into the self-portrait thing.
Guest 19-Apr-2004 06:05
David, this is fantastic!!! WOW!!

Great idea David. How weird must it feel? Like a Deja Vu.
Guest 19-Apr-2004 01:05
That is so cool! What a great idea. Life's been good to you, I think.

David, that is so cool your capturing the essence of the other photo. You look so much the same .. maybe a little wet behind the ears...but so much the same.
Guest 18-Apr-2004 22:38
Look at you!! Great set up! I love the homage to an older self portrait. Nice work, David!
