Clint as your title says, Unspoken Stories, oh to have known the backstory to so many of them. Now I would have a stern word with those 2 lads @ 3:00 for wearing those scream in your face paisley print shirts 😮 but in the 70/80's it was high fashion for the young man about town. On a sobering note unless we archive our personal stories/ephemera, either written/oral it will all be lost as we draw our last breath. Let's not get too deep into this quagmire 😎 Cheers DougT 🇫🇴
So...were you rocking paisley back in the day? I think my mom bought me a paisley tie (I never wore). As for getting our photos/stories in order, I know all too well how fragile those kind of memories can be. Let's stay out of that bog/swamp.
Yup those shirts, I'm blushing now recalling them all, oh and platform sole stacked and heeled shoes under our bell flared 'loon' trousers 🧐 What were we thinking
Lots of lads and their lovers, fond friends. Curious about the stories behind the shots.
Me too, Ray. Wish I knew more facts, but I’m left to fill in the gaps with fictions.
My imagination can create fantasies.
Oh, I bet it can! You have been known to write a play or three about it. :-)
Lots of fine looking folks here, a good helping of black men, which is nice to see (talk about stories!). And the two men dressed as samurai: they have to have some stories in them. So much beauty, so fragile, so passing quickly. The collection is a thought provoker, that's for sure. Corragio!
A belated thank you, Clarke. I’m trying to show more diversity…wish I was finding more vintage photos to match. :-)
