Show Us Something From 1980 Something!!

[mtbbrian]

If you recall, a while ago I did a post called "Show Us A Photograph You Did In The90's" to which I got a little response.
So I thought I'd do it again but go back even further to the 80's!

This one goes back to 1989, I did it in my first college photography class.

This one is of my oldest children, neither is this cute anymore ;-D

Taken with a used Nikon F, with an 50mm F1.4 lens, on slide film. At Fort Stevens, Oregon early 1980's

Shoot, I barely remember the 1980's

Except for the earthquake of 1989

<- Born in 1981 baby!

Everything I did then is packed away, but I'll try to look something up and get it scan so I can play Brian. Just for you information I can go back to the 60's and pull out pictures if you want.

If I'd seen the 1990's thread I would have participated :thumbsup:
Here's a couple of scanned pics from me.
This is my oldest daughter, Samantha Taken in 1987 using my Kodak 255X Instamatic Camera.

I can dig out my 620 negatives from the late 50's. I did get some nice shots but the fixed focus hurt the picture quality allot! In fact I'm using two photos I took some time between 1965-1969 as my computers desktop.

Geewize... Adina by 77 I was working on my third child and my third Nikon!!

Just the 80's will be fine Larry, it's about as far back as I'll be going.
I only go back to the 70's as far as the "big picture" is concerned.
What do you think of the photograph I posted anyway?

It is very interesting, reminds me of some of the thing I did in one of my college photo classes. I could did up a few of those but then you said 60's were a little far back for you. Besides not sure how well tintypes scan.

[mtbbrian]

LOL Larry, LOL!
I happen to know that tintypes will scan well enough.

Actually, my best stuff is from the 80s but I've never scanned them.
I should, I suppose.

O.T. I'd had my third by '77.
I could pull out my 50's stuff. Maybe tonight.

Here are a couple from Chile, circa 1982 or 1983.

Well Brian in the 80's much of my photography centered around the family. It's not surprising that pics of the kids were the only ones I had scanned and on the computer. I did a lot of the set the timer and run a round and get in the family picture back than also. So here are a couple from the mid 80's.

Good Stuff Larry!

Thanks for playing!

My daughter, circa 1986. Thank God the surgery worked.

The week of my Dad's 57th birthday. That's Mom and Dad by the Fiat. The second photo is my Mom and well, me.

These are scans of commercial prints out of an album. The camera was either my first Nikon F2A Photomic or a Contax. Most of my photos of this time worth sharing are in a safety deposit box or not scanned. I've been working on 'other' decades of late.

Late October 1982.

[Alison]

Woah! OT what a handsome fella you are! And well, Joy, what can I say. Incredibly beautiful. I think she deserves the "Most beautiful wife award". I'm not just saying that either. She is still as stunning today as she was back then!!!
You have a gorgeous family OT.

I'll play! I have always been a camera bug. I got my first camera from my grandmother for my 10th birthday in 1983, a Kodak 110 flip open compact. God I loved it! It took terrible pictures and had no ability to focus. I would beg my mother for more film, extra flash bars, and to get my pictures developed and printed - which she pretty much saw as a waste of time and money. This was the first picture I took that actually looked like what I had seen the day I took the picture, well sort of. The date on the back of the print says Oct. 1983. It was one of the better pictures that camera ever produced anyway and it set off this little fire in the back of my head that maybe someday I could be a REAL photographer, with a big camera and take beautiful pictures that I would be proud to show to other people. . . .

Alison you are way to kind. But I must agree about Joy she is like fine wine, she just gets better and better with time.
