    2. Late teens - my guess would be me at 18 or 19. This is a print I made and I stopped darkroom work after 1st year university.

    3. 2004 at Everest Base Camp - just restarting getting into serious digital photography. I had my Leica R3 and my Canon Powershot S40 on that trip. That was the last trip I shot film.

    4. Recent shot (late 2019)

    First time back here in a few years. Probably a good way to introduce myself again.

    Maybe 5 or 6 years old here?

    A couple of years ago with my kids. Most recent and decent photo I have of myself. I have a rule about staying behind the camera... My kids look so different now, at least, my daughter does for sure.

    Oh Manfred, still handsome as ever. And you know what they say, hair is just something that hides a perfect head.

    US... Then and Now

    Here I am in 2019 at 79-years old (in the print shirt) with my wife and my cousin, Bob Hadley from North Carolina. I have a lot less hair and more facial scars now than I had at 19!!!

    US... Then and Now

    This was the first time I met Bob in person. We met online through Family Search DNA testing several years ago and are both active in the genealogy of our families. It appears that our mutual ancestor was James CROW (1770-1845) of South Carolina and Mississippi. However, we are the closest match in the DNA project. I have met numerous cousins through my genealogy studies and have learned loads about my family.

    I met a Tennessee cousin, online, whose closest mutual ancestor was my second great grandfather, William Erwin (1797-1863) of Tennessee. I can trace my family through his line back to William the Conqueror... She greeted me online like a long lost family member and said - "You just have to come meet us in Tennessee. After all we are kinfolk." She added that I didn't need to worry about the Stantons (William's wife was a Stanton) because the Erwins and the Stantons, "...are friendly now. Even though they fought on opposite sides in the WAR!" The war she mentioned was. of course, the American Civil War 1861-1865 I felt like I was in a time warp when I talked with her
    Wonderful photos! I love seeing all these, so wonderful!

    Age 2, apparently not yet having mastered the idea of right-side-up:

    US... Then and Now

    4 years ago, with my first grandchild:

    US... Then and Now

    That's an old cotton sweater. Our rule: always wear absorbent, washable clothes you don't care about when tending to babies.

    When I was a child, my mother was always trying to get me to wear a hat. I didn't need to with all that insulation on top. I didn't really have to worry about getting a sunburn either and in fact, the more time I spent outside, the lighter my hair would go.

    Now I reach for some form of hat whenever I head out; sun protection in the warmer months and cold protection in the colder ones. My late mother is finally getting her wish...
