Memories

"When I was seventeen it was a very good year.It was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights.
We'd hide from the light on the village green, when I was seventeen.......................
Now the days are short. I'm in the autumn of my year. And now I think of my life as vintage wine, from fine old kegs from the brim to the dregs, it poured sweet and clear. It was a very good year.
(Inspired by Frank Sinatra's recording)

I would greatly appreciate your CC on this version compared with my B&W one. #921098Peter W. Marks July 26, 2008
And I thought this was a pretty good self-portrait but zero response! Makes me wish I was a pregnant lady as everyone "oohs" and "aahs" at all those bare plump bellies. #6234502Peter W. Marks July 26, 2008
Hi Willard, it's a bit pathetic when one pleads for a response isn't it but thank you for indulging me! I shot this image with the very minimum of preparation sat at our dining room table looking out onto our very green, plant-filled yard. A couple of months later my glasses would have been crimson as the hibiscus are in full bloom.lolDawn M. Schneider July 29, 2008
this one doesnt have it...the green in the glasses, the overall coloring.. especially when you are quoting Frank(which happens to be a favorite of mine!!) enter the b&w see what happens!!jmo :) #6246188AEK November 19, 2009
hmmmm - finding this a bit after the fact. I like it. i'm the oddball. I find the green in the glasses a great metaphor - but you'll have to figure out for what. the answer's right here, though.do hope you are well,
best,

Well Arlene. You do have me gueessing! I know you are a nice person, so you wouldn't be suggesting that at my age I am getting a little mouldy around the edges like over-ripe cheese, would you!Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
