bob & karen

[floppybootstomp]

I've just put a photo album together for an old mate of mine, he's been working in Hong Kong for about the last 15 years or so. He visited here a couple of months ago and saw the album I'd put together for another mate of mine on his birthday.

Seems I'm the unofficial historian amongst my peers

Anyway, came across these pix of him and a girl we used to know named Karen. It's either 1970 or 1971 which would make us aged about 19 or 20 at the time, the pix were taken in Karen's Mum's back garden.

I went out with Jenny, Karen's sister, but never did, uh, consumate the relationship

I don't think Bob ever did with Karen either, lol, but I can't really remember.

I don't know how old she was in these pix, but I'd guess 17. And I actually fancied her Mum more, she was well tasty

Here's the pix, posting them here because they made me laugh and I'd mostly forgotten about them:

1) Karen

2) Bob says hello to Karen

3) Bob cuddles Karen

4) Bob gives opinion on what he'd like to do to Karen

5) Bob mistakes Karen for a pork chop and attempts to eat her

6) Bob now

7) Bob now - Dave Gilmour lookalike anybody?

All true, but she's about 53 years old now, I don't think I've seen her since '73.

Age - it's a bugger

Karen was actually a good friend, I never thought to ask her out, but when I introduced Bob, hehe

We went to the same school, Karen and I, her sister Jenny went to a different school and I only met her (Jenny) after I'd left school.

Posted these mostly for the, uh, um - poses. Yep, that's it - poses

Nikon F SLR.

Ilford ASA 400 B & W Film.

Processed in the darkroom by myself at the newspaper I used to work for.

Most pix I took were in B & W then because newspapers then didn't have colour pix and the paper supplied the film for free. So that's what I used

nice one they do look in very prestige condition there

I am wondering how you got them to look so good on the Internet?
The pictures look of a very good quality and the rectangle shape is immuclate.
Did you scan them in?

 

[floppybootstomp]

Did you scan them in?

Yes. Epson Perfection 4490 Photo Scanner. I think I scanned the original negatives but it may have been from prints, can't remember.
