1980 Business Card Photo Challenge... Who's Brave Enough?

Reblogger William Johnson
Industry Observer with Retired

 

I love this idea that Mike came up with and decided to repost his blog so that many more readers can take advantage of this very fun idea Mike had.

I really enjoyed going through Mike's coments and I recognised a few members and the photos or business card photos is such a cleaver idea. I can't speak for others but I  buried mine in the back yard hoping that insects would eat them but alas they didn't. I dug mine up so I am guessing more of you will do that as well.

Mike in Tucson, circa 1980

My Darlin' says I have a lot of nerve posting this photo. 

It's me.  Thirty years ago in upstate New York... 

  1. Do you still have a business card photo from that ancient date? 
  2. Are you brave enough to endure the LMAO's? 
  3. Would ANYONE you know in the Rain be able to put your "today" photo together with your 1980 photo?

Oh, I know there are those out there who haven't changed the glamour photo on your business card in the last decade.  Some of you are right here in Tucson, working for...  Well, never mind.  I'd only get in trouble.

Anyhow, those of you who were in diapers in 1980 needn't comment.  Let's hear from those who were born before 1960.

Don't be shy.  And please do upload a photo.  Tell us where you were when it was taken.  LOL!

Hi Cynthia, Well thank you, I appreciate hearing it even if it's not true, LOL. It is called the aging process and for a long time, I thought I was mostly escaping it. It accelerated all on its own at increased rates. Years of tanning has finally come for it's take it's due.

Hi Mryl, You are too funny. I would bet most of us would go back if we could. But of course the P surgeon would have to fix a few things.

OK Bill, Where is yours. Somewhere between birth and your current photo, you had hair I would bet. So where is that and allow us to have a chuckle, lol. You did OK, most with smooth heads don't wear it as well as you. I will say that from what I can tell, I would rather have none than some. Looks very good on some and think of the money saved not having to pay for haircuts and shampoo.LMAO

Hi Mryl, I love your sense of humor. And it was wonderfully enjoyable to spend to time with you on the phone.

William, what a great re-blog and I love seeing everyone's 1980 pics! Now I'm going to look at the original post and all of the "old" photos over there...sorry I don't have any photos handy of me in 1980, but I was just a kid back then anyway. :)

Hi Sharon, OK, if you think so. It was said of me when I was younger that I was cute and cleaver. Well, if that were true then and I am not sure it was, what I am now would be just cleaver, trust me on that ,LMAO

Hi Cynthia,

I sure can. About as happy as I am. Some people just don't photograph well and I am one of them. Guessing you feel that way too. Besides, If anyone asked what I look like  I tell people , to look around at as many people as they can. I don't look a thing like any of them. So that it comes down to this. I look different than everyone else. Of course that would be true for any one of us, wouldn't it, LOL.

Hi Renee, There is no way you have ever had an ugly stage. Impossible! But I will go and look at Mike's post again.
