With a little bit of computer manipulation I've aged the picture to make us look like a couple of plucky European explorers from the 1920's! All I need is a pith helmet.

Big Picture: Mythos Explorers!
I've been going through a load of old pictures recently and, where necessary, scanning them onto my computer. There was a time when I used a camera with something called 'film' in it. I'm not sure how I managed to cope in the days before Mega-pixels and SD cards. Back in 1992 when I took this photo I brought 15 rolls of film with me to Egypt- enough to shoot a mere 540 pictures. These days I carry enough memory capacity to comfortably shoot a four or five thousand pictures.

Who's the rather slim looking chap on the left??
ReplyDeleteYes indeed that was me. Once upon a time I was considerably slimmer. But married life (and my wifes cooking) put paid to that!
ReplyDeleteLittleLee of the Desert, nice pic.
ReplyDeleteI also have a lot more hair in this picture... alas time is a cruel foe.
ReplyDeleteAh, the memories of film and youth. I don't miss either. Nice post.
ReplyDeleteI have a similar pic of me on a camel! Sadly I wasnt wearing a pith helmet either...
ReplyDeleteMost hollywood types didn't go in for those things, I thought. But the photo, yes, what is that vaguely obscene roiling whiteness - emerging? - from the desert plain to the upper right of the ruined pyramid? Pass your sanity roll and it's obviously a degree of overexposure. Fail it, and who knows what happens next.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
