Pic of Joe from 1970-something

This is a picture of me in the very late 1970s drinking water from a beer can (Miller). I found this while going through some old stuff of mine at my mom's house that I hadn't looked at in 10 to 15 years. It's amazing how many memories, feelings and such can be brough back so quickly with the slightest glance at an old photo.

The most striking thing is that I found images I had never even seen before (my one and only talent is a psuedo-photographic memory).

Seeing a precious image of your or someone else's youth that you've never seen before is like looking at a familiar painting upside-down. We must construct ideas and memories based on the pictures we have... and when a new photo comes in and questions or challenges memories you've had for long, long times, it can be somewhat of a shock.
