Theme: Flashback
I had two ideas for this week's theme so I did them both.
The theme for this weeks Flashback Friday is music so ignore me and my big teeth ,in the very fetching brown and yellow,there ....instead look at those old cassettes .My Mum and Dad used to listen to trad jazz, the Beatles,the moody blues and Simon and Garfunkle,and then my brother liked the Sweet,Slade and then Queen, the Stranglers,and the Sex Pistols.Music holds such powerful memories.I always loved to sing along.The radio was usually on throughout the day although mum's preference was usually for plays on radio 4.
Being a 12 year old tourist in Perth. Photo taken by my dad, totally unposed. One of my favourite photos, despite the fact that I obviously couldn't do a thing with my hair in those days either.
Siena.
Perchè ti cerco ancora, nonna, in gesti-parole-persone sconosciute. Forse, un pò, sei ancora in me.

Yes, I'm the one Asian kid on the carousel. I'm guessing we were probably in Springfield or St. Louis visiting my aunt. That's my cousin to the left in the yellow dress.
I used to hate the date on photos because they were such an ugly mark. But now it's so helpful to find an old photo with the date, I almost kind of miss them.
I ended 2013 with one of the best moments of that year, and I will start 2014 with a flashback on the whole year. I don't know why, but I'm overthinking a lot the last days. In 2013, there are a lot of things happened, bad things, normal thing and ofcourse, there were some good moments also. But most of all, it was a year with a lot of changes in it. I was so happy when the vacation started in July, and I never, ever needed to go back to the same school to be there, listening to the teachers, seeing all day long the same people over and over again. I was a little bit angry about myself that year, I was angry about all those stupid things that happened in the past few years, and I guess I needed the end of the school year (which was also the ending of my highschool-carreer) to take a new start. In that way, 2014 started a few months earlier for me. I made some decisions for myself, I've started in September with a new energy and in a new city in a school where I was all alone, I didn't knew anyone around me there. But it felt good, it seemed like I finally found a place where I can be myself, what was quite impossible the years before. It's like a feeling of freedom, just to say "I'm done with this" and start all over again. So, I guess, 2013 was a year of ups and downs, a lot of downs, which where relayed to other things in the past. But life is learning, forgiving and forgetting things, so I guess, I will do all of these, until I feel comfortable in every situation, on everyplace and with everyone. That's my good condition to start with in 2014.

Back in 2006 the weeds were high and so were the search lights. This is the east end of the Wadsworth siding.
Johann & Tammy from 5 years ago!
Hard to believe it was really five years ago...
This is for Gale...as close a pose in the digital photos I could find (after a brief search) to the photo Mother & Newborn Son I. Much of the earliest photos were on film I fear.
