I'm going to try to find one featuring myself with a full head of hair.

I have no idea why I'm doing this, other than the fact that my mom recently had me scan a bunch of old photos of my sister and I, many of which are surprisingly embarrassing and funny.
Little kid
Obligatory Bicycle Shot
English Prep School
Moscow in 8th Grade - I traded tennis shoes and jeans and bubble gum for that stuff
Senior Year - possibly the last photo of me ever taken with a full head of hair

@towliesbong:
"holy shit, that moscow shot is rad."
I've still got all that gear at my parents' place, though none of it fits anymore. I wound up with a full dress army uniform as well as the winter overcoat in the picture. I suspect it is all quite valuable now, assuming it isn't motheaten.
I've also got an authentic soviet flag which I think is pretty damn cool, not that I'm much of a communist, but the cold war was such a big part of my childhood and teen years.

The red/pink version was in the "Engine Room" ... what my brother called it when he was about four and what we still call it today. A closet housing the water heater.
I used to love moving my fingers along that vinyl flooring's little bumps and ridges. I had no idea what it was made of. Endlessly fascinating. The grey wasn't just grey, either -- it was made up of a bunch of tiny dots of other colors. Grey, yes, but also green, blue, pink, white.

nah Marino - it's the Pico/Robertson area of LA (my parents still live there though).. that's actually my neighbors backyard the first day I got it, my 5th birthday.. he snapped that picture and then took the training wheels off right away.. told me I was gonna learn how to ride that bike right away. I was sketched out about now having training wheels but we worked it out when he promised me a popsicle for every scrape I got ;)
I remember my parents building it in the living room. I could hear them but didn'tt know what they were doing.. they made me stay in my room cuz it was a surprise. so glad they got me that bike!!!
