Because the crowd was so oddly interested I wasn't surprised to see the Swedish(?) titles at the end. There's no way that was shot in the land that created disco.

I hope you get all kinds of submissions (including mine, however, my excuse isn't that I can't find my yearbook, it's that I have to figure out how to get my picture scanned). But I think there could be a bit more to this, other than making fun of our do's or clothes (although I certainly had a great example of 80s hair). For example, the submissions could come with some more context into the teenage mind...as in "what were you thinking while this portrait was taken?" As the flashbulbs snapped during my session, I remember wondering "Will I even like college?" "How is it possible to get the exact same score on the SATs twice (which I did)?" "I'm editor of the school paper but can't think of anything to write, how is that possible?" "I go to the tanning booth and am STILL white as a ghost...what the?" And so on. Photos are just the tip of the iceberg! Obviously, this is a great idea to supplement the exhibition.
