Old Photo of Me

Let's try this again. For some reason I wasn't able to upload the photo the first two tries.

I recently scanned a bunch of old 127 format B&W negatives, taken in the Mid-Sixties with what was essentially a toy camera. I took most of them, but a few were taken by others. Here's the best one of me:

A Bit From Chapter One

Excerpt from a contemporary fantasy novel in progress (over 77k words):

    Wanda Lafontaine mock growled as she chased her youngest around the house, pretending to be a ferocious lion. She'd been reading him some of the Oz books lately so he knew this lion was only acting fierce. He giggled and shrieked and pretended to flee in terror. With her bushy head of tawny hair she felt she made a good lion.

    A wave of dizziness flowed over Wanda, and she faltered in her chase, stopping to shake her head. Everything looked different. Sounded different. Smelled different... She went off balance, falling to all fours.

    The boy's eyes went wide with the realization that his Mother was no longer pretending to be a lion.

Taken with a Minolta Maxxum 35mm SLR. Always keep a camera handy. ;-)

It folks like this, I have a few more in the series I'll post.
