About > Bad Hair > Summer 1984

Summer 1984 I think. My sister Jackie had just bought herself a camera, Olympus OM10, and we were fooling about with it. There is supposed to be some sort of soft focus effect around the edges which I think you can just about see. Oh dear! There seems to be some sort of fungal growth crawling down the side of my face. There may have been a slight hint of it in 1983 but by now it is rampant. For some reason I have nearly always had facial hair of some description. I guess it is because I started growing it at such an early age that even today, nearly 20 years later, it simply does not grow that fast. The old wives tale about hair growing quicker if you cut it must be true.
