Description Martha's Vineyard scene. Me and my camera. Once again my husband took the photo. It was sometime in the mid 90s.

When I find the neg, I'll scan it but it's lost for now so this will have to do.

Thank you for this. I brings back the immediacy of film, the smell of fixer on fingers and the magic of an image.

Rats--I'm so unoriginal in wanting to comment on what great legs you have!

(And you're luck you still have 'em. Me--I've never had 'em. I've got knock knees--big and knobby. Ah well--I have a great personality! )

myrnajacobs In reply to Athansor [2008-06-10 20:13:13 +0000 UTC]

Hah.... I've always thought my knees were too 'knobby'... and they are compared to those people whose legs go down in a nice taper from thigh to ankle.

Congratulations! Where did you apply for work? Grad school... that is just awesome! You have it all... beauty, brains, sweet kindness, "realness", honesty... omg... everything! Your parents must be so amazingly proud!

And don't you find it intersting that you have an idea of what I'm like ... that the ID fits.

myrnajacobs In reply to kayceeus [2008-05-19 22:41:34 +0000 UTC]

It's such a cool spot. I've been three times because I had a friend who rented a place there every summer. It's very laid back, upscale, rich people relaxing kind of place. There are also a fair number of artists and people who live there all year despite the hardship of that! That beach where I'm standing has a little place that sells corn on the cob, fish (and maybe french fries?) so that you can go sit and eat and watch the sunset. It's awesome!

I remember going to Huntington Beach Pier as a kid and eating hamburgers and strips from a place called Jack's, they had the BEST hamburgers in the world! Things just taste better on the beach for some reason. But yes Martha's Vineyard, I've seen it in movies and it looks so quaint and wonderful!
