Christmas' past

Northview Junior High School students Becky Hunter and my brother Scott Vanatter in December 1967. They got married in 1975 and have two kids Carrie and Sydney. Taken at Becky's house near Royal Oaks Park in Duarte, California. Probably taken by Becky's mom (Bull) Hunter soon to be Mrs. Rol Allen. Cute. I know it wasn't at our house because we had the sparkly silver aluminum tree with the red, yellow, green and blue lights. The bobbles were usually shiny blue. I'm pretty sure Becky's printed jeans were corduroy. I remember about the same time that Scott told me one time "You are never going to get a boyfriend if you continue to wear those stretch pants" with the stirup feet. I liked the stirup feet so my socks wouldn't show. I had cute little black boots to go with them. Ah the fashion of the 60's.

Becky, Tracy and Dad

Mom and Dad in Duarte

Taken in 1981 on July 16th on my 26th birthday. It was taken with my new Hasselblad 500 C/M camera and an 80mm lens. I had bought it at Flag's Camera Shop on Lake in Pasadena. I was jazzed and had Mom and Dad pose for me. I bought it for $800.00 to $900.00 used. I love that camera. I still have it. What a differance 27 1/2 years make. I have the 150mm lens too. I figure the investment was well worth it. I made a bunch of money with it over the years. All the Digital DECService Awards portraits were taken with it except when I rented equipment at Samy's Camera. Too fun. The original is in color.

Trivial Pursuit 1986

Taken in the kithen of 97 Foxhollow in Irvine in 1986. We played alot of Trivial Pursuit in those days. This is soon after Tracy and Doug got marrried. Scott took it. We are so young !!
