Allow me to answer some questions before you bother to ask them.
- The top scientists in the late 70's believed that humans were evolving so that their cheeks would be able to assist their eyes with vision. Yes, it was necessary to own glasses that covered a maximum square yardage on your face.
- I had, in fact had a recent haircut...the first one since I was 12 years old. Merely weeks before this photo was taken, my hair reached the middle of my back.
- And yes. I did think that was a mustache at the time.

Oh.
My.
I kind of miss the days when I could look out from any part of my glasses and be able to focus. None of that targetting nonsense to get the optimal spot over where my eyes are supposed to be. (Of course, I might just be saying that because my current ones are a bit off, and it's annoying, but I'm also too lazy to get them adjusted...)
Well, it's a well know fact that the 70s was a horrible decade for pictures. Just like the camera puts on 10lbs. And yeah, I miss stylish big glasses, instead of the German Proctologist glasses I have now.
*ring, ring*
"Hello?"
"Yes, it's the seventies. I'd like my hair back."
Janiece,
You've got that backwards. It's 2009 and I'd like my hair back.
Yep, Michelle..you said it best.
I wish I had my old archives available to pictorially prove that, but some ten years later than the time of your picture, I looked exactly the same, hair, glasses and mustashe... Which kind of makes sense - our 80's were your 70's...
Sweeeeet
Ah, youth. I doth miss it.
Oh, I've got a passport photo to beat that one. I'll see if I can scan it.
It was taken as a replacement for a stolen one at the US Embassy in Moscow after having spent a 12-hour trip hiding in the toilet of a Soviet train. o.O
Every male I knew in the 70's looked exactly like that. Every girl looked like Farrah.
And then there was the paisley...
If you guys need me, I'll be hiding under the bed
John, my uncle's second wife *still* has hair that looks like Farrah.
It is... disconcerting.
Better mustache than I had at 17.
You looked like Howard Stern! :P
Chris is now officially on double secret probation.
