Some kids got to go to Disney for vacations- I got to visit folk festivals (not going to lie- would totally torture and drag the kids to this). These photos are from circa 1983 (processed in July ’83 per the stamp on the slide). (For a simple easy-to-use slide scanner I recommend the KODAK SCANZA Digital Film & Slide Scanner from Amazon.)

Yes, there are photos of me as an awkward almost-12-year-old. It was the early 80s, none of us looked good back then.
