Here's another #OldPhoto I took in 1977, one of the earliest photographs I ever took. Love the tone, the composition, the feel of a relaxing moment just reading the newspaper in a public place, waiting for the day to begin. This is in #SyracuseUniversity's I.M. Pei-designed #NewhouseSchool.

Took this picture in 1977, and it fascinates me to this day. It just has that certain something, entirely by accident.

Photographically, this is terrible, but it's an absolute moment in time, and that moment was 1982/83. It's me (in the center) with my roommate (left) and my other roommate and eventual wife (right). We were kinda adorable, even in the midst of an amount of misery. Absolutely kicking myself that when we got together for our 40th anniversary a couple of years ago, we didn't recreate this photo.

#SyracuseUniversity's Hendricks Chapel on a winter night in 1978. I always had a love of low light shots, even though I wouldn't say I was successful at making them very artful. This one, though, definitely evokes the loneliness of crossing the campus on a winter evening. Short handheld with Tri-X 400. There's dust on the negative but I'm not fixing these in post.

1978: college students locking up their bicycles to a tree on the #SyracuseUniversity campus, while others are locked up to a chain fence surrounding this little area. My 10-speed was stolen within the first weeks of freshman year, so I was probably jealous of their mobility. This isn't a great photograph, and yet it captures so much – the bikes, the cars, the clothes.

From 1977: three high school girls attending a summer #journalism institute at #SyracuseUniversity –Mary, Kathy, Karen. That I remember their names is remarkable; I find other names in my diaries that I can't begin to put a face to. This view from the patio of the I.M. Pei-designed #NewhouseSchool no longer exists – a third Newhouse building was built there.

Rare color for me; Ektachrome, IIRC.

Jon Bosak's images from his college days keep setting me in a nostalgic mood.

What hits me most are some of the details that reveal once-ubiquitous items that are now almost entirely gone from the world, like wax paper cups.

So I was leafing through my old photos and here's one of the first that jumped out at me: a Coke-branded waxed paper cup.

I'm sure I thought this was artistic in 1978.
