1985

Every morning I woke up to poster-portrait of Albert Einstein. Beneath the image was a quote: "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

In 1985 I was 16 years old. I got a job at Burger King with the main intent to buy a camera and a computer. The Apple IIe is in the foreground, the Nikon FG-20 was taking the photo on timer. To answer two questions you may be asking: I didn't get into Penn, and what you see between my knees are my thighs touching.

    I have been looking at all the photos on this site, and it wasn't the degree from Penn that stop me to take a closer look, very few photos can stop the viewer, and that is what make this a great photo.
