I had a very round face when I was a kid. Now I'm like the love child of Jimmy Hill and Bruce Forsyth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world was black and white in 1960 Remarkably, that was taken on a pre-war box Brownie [*]. You could get colour film for them in the 1960s. When I found that pic last week, it was on a colour slide. I actually own a digital slide converter, but this wasn't the usual inch-square type slide, it was a larger format that wouldn't fit. So I improvised a light box, by displaying white screen on a tablet, and set up my SLR on a tripod to photograph it, giving the digital version you see here. Came out surprisingly well, I thought.

That's because they're not decorative, they're what we eat off. So there will always be some out in use, or put back a bit differently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
