This is a photo of a photo. The framed, matted and mounted image was taken by my grandmother sometime in the late 1970′s.
Yes, that’s me in the photo.
From what I understand, she used this photo promotionally in relation to her work in sales in the photography industry.
It is a picture I love very much (although rumor has it I wasn’t such a fan of posing for it at the time) and I was deeply touched that she sent me this fantastic print all ready to hang on the wall.
I now have the charger for my DSLR so I took the opportunity to fire that up rather than using the camera on my phone.

Wow, I had a really big, round head as a kid, huh?
