The story behind the image

58 years. Finally!

To celebrate my birthday today, here’s a photo showing me at the age of 6. My mother captured the image in 1970 in our living room in Altenholz-Stift near Kiel in Germany. I think the confident and proud look is somewhat funny. Apparently, the image was the last picture on this roll of film, so the left edge has been brightened off. But it is still one of the better images that can be found in the archive – others are truly terrible.

Well then. Happy birthday to me. 🙂
