Photo Album

I recently went through about 15 photo albums from the 1980s in making a slideshow for my upcoming wedding. It's odd to look back on photos of yourself happy and, well, cute from a time you have no memory of. It's like looking back at photos from a night you drank way too much but instead of looking like a cross-eyed fool you look really good, and we all know that never happens. In selecting photos I took more from my younger years. I've watched enough of these slideshows to realize that people turn a corner sometime in their teenage years. The photos are recent enough that you look like an idiot who made fashion choices that were painful rather than cute, and although you were way skinnier then, it's an awkward time no one needs to be reminded of in your life.
