Unrecognizable

I found a very nice photo of me and my mom in her apartment in NYC. We are sitting by my piano which I left to the family that bought my house in Latvia. I was in my early 20s and each year I would get a perm and wore these big dark tinted glasses. I looked at this photo and almost did not recognize myself. Boy, have I changed through all the years. Now I no longer want photos taken of me.

At the time, were you happy with the way you looked? That's the important thing, being happy with the way you look at the time.
I don't like people taking my picture, either. I don't feel like I look like "me". *shrug*

@DaddyEvil at that time I did not mind my photo being taken and I liked my look

How nice! I used to get perms too. I've changed too. It's a gibben in life I guess.

@celticeagle that only thing important now to me is that I can recognize myself in the mirror

@snowy22315 my mom encouraged me about the perms because she also had a perm once a year

Just now
@RasmaSandra I wanted to have perm. Ugh. But my hair gets voluminous and unruly. I only want large curls. Curling iron doesn't work for me as well. The most they stay on my hair is 30minutes

That's such a beautiful picture of you and your mom.
I remember those days of getting perms too. Some old pictures I like of myself but others not so much. I rarely have pictures taken of me now

@rebelann I still have lots of photo albums too but I am glad the scans I made because I like looking at photos on the PC
