            Did they have color film in the 1980's? Sounds funny to hear that question, but it's actually a good one. Many people had been shooting their snapshots in color for a decade, but black and white was still very popular amongst photojournalists and home film processors. Speed, cost, and newsprint requirements kept it in demand.

 I shot this photo at Rancho Los Alamitos on March 29, 1980. Photo clubs and camera shops would set up events where models and photographers could get together and build their portfolios. I tagged along with a friend (who has since passed away). I had never gotten around to print this other than on a contact sheet.

I don't know who their names, but they would be about 60yo today, give or take 2 years.
