TTTY 1989: Start Of My American Life - IMRAN™
Time flies. TTTY. Throwback Thursday Thirty Years ago!
Actually, I took my first selfie literally 50 years ago, before the word existed. It was taken with a Diana camera my late beloved father had given me as a nearly 7 year old. This photo was a selfie taken in my Columbia University, Manhattan, New York, apartment in 1989, thirty years ago.
You can see my interests have not changed much. A music keyboard, hooked up to the computer on my desktop running MacOS, TOS, and DOS, as needed, a joystick for flight simulators, Panasonic cordless phone and fax (which I still have in some closet in New York), and posters celebrating NY and music, are all visible.
I had sent a set of these awesome posters of New York City to my parents that year, and my Mom had them framed, and they still exist there! The Yamaha synthesizer keyboard is still part of my music studio in New York. The Samsonite briefcase in the bottom right of the photo was my Dad's favorite and he gave it to me when I had moved to the USA that year. I still keep it, also in New York. I am pretty sure the blue jeans are long gone, as is the 26 year old body (LOL). But the imagination, confidence, ambition, drive, desire, passion, zest, joy, lust for love, love for life, and gratitude still remain and grow.
