As we already have "Stories from your childhood" I thought this might be a bit of fun. Get a photo/s from your childhood and put it in here along with a recent photo and let's have a laugh  This is me in May 1961 aged 7 years on my communion day.  ------------- May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

What happened Pat did you get hit by a bus as you got older  To be honest I can't see your pictures yet they are blocked here in work. Pat you should have sent them and we could have used them in the "Guess Who thread which has died a death  ------------- "Legal downloads is killing Piracy" http://www.flickr.com/groups/th |

This was taken in my back garden on Tonlegee Rd. No idea how old I was - possibly 3 years old so that might make it 1972. My cousin is still that bit taller than me. |

This is recent. Me sitting down after making a prat of myself dancing with one of those blokes wearing the dodgy socks. NOTE the margarita ready for consumption !!. Actually it was good fun. A load of us women were out for the night and hired these guys. They are minstrels and you follow them through the side streets of San Miguel and a few bartenders come with you to replenish your Margarita or give you more beer. You stop from time to time and dance and then head off. Naturally you end up with loads of hangers on. Great fun and normally used for weddings. |

| Mins you are 7 years younger than me. So if they were in your class I would have been WAY too grown up to know them *LOL*. My sister would be your age though...1969 baby...Patricia O'Brien. But we were all Holy Faith girls. I know of the Lambe family though. And you might have known two of my brothers....Gerry and Donal O'Brien...seems they were known around, eh T? *LOL* |

I remember my sisters coming home from America with flash cameras.
They were big bulbs covered in blue plastic to stop them exploding. I used to eat them..they tasted lovely. |

I actually have one of those old Box Cameras at home. Bought it off fleabay for about 4 euro. Doesn't work though and the lens is covered in crap..but it's nice to just have if you're into cameras :-) The modern day equivalent would be the Holga, which I have started to use a while back. It's a cheap Chinese "toy camera" that photographers love, because of the strange affects you get on the photos (it's film of course, medium format). I've recently gotten into film, I'm a Digital Baby, and I'd love to find a working model of one of the Boxies and run a roll of film through it. Recently bought myself a Bronica ETRS Medium Format camera system, it's a beauty. Oh and Yvonne, leave those pics out and I'll scan them this evening. Is it the one of you in yer Communion outfit? There's one of me in my pram..although I think we may have put that up already in the Guess Who thread? ------------- Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. - (Henri Cartier-Bresson) |

HD & Yvonne, Do you know anything about a tiny camera called a Poloroid Instant I Zone camera? Really handy if you need a small print there and then - cannot get the film anywhere ???? Any advice please. ------------- Verona |

Btw...How did I end up with that Avatar....?
