If I remember correctly, my parents rented the upstairs apartment in this building where we lived in 1963.
I have some other photos from this group (same date stamp) with snow in them which makes me think that this roll of film was developed in December of that year. I remember, of course, back in the film days how a single roll of film could sit in a camera for months before it was developed. That's all ancient history, now.
I remember how disappointing it often was when the photos finally arrived, all those wonky buildings and people with their feet or top of their heads missing!

And ties were big back then - both in fashion and width.
ReplyDeleteYou look so elegant.
ReplyDeleteHad you 'come out' yet? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you remember the huge event that had happened just the previous month. I shouldn't have thought so. (I was nearly six at the time of our Queen's coronation, though I don't recall the day itself - but all the razzmatazz surrounding it, most certainly).
Oh, yes, remember those days? Buying film that allowed 12 or 24 or 36 photos (only! so don't waste a photo!)? And dropping it off at FOX photo or Walgreen's or even mailing it off... and it was kind of expensive, too.
ReplyDeleteWalt,
ReplyDeleteAh yes, 1963. I remember 1963 as if it was yesterday. In January of 1963 I was finished my three year tour of duty in the Army. In April of 1963 I came out to . . . . . .EVERYBODY. I was 21 years old. Boy to I ever feel old now. :)
