Years ago, we were posting "theme" photos each month.   A theme one month was simulated vintage photos.  I got the idea of taking one of my "breakfast buddy" fishing, during a camping trip we took.   (breakfast buddies is a program at local elementary school, where "mentors" have breakfast once a week in cafeteria).  I have always expanded on the breakfasts,  and also do things outside of school with them,  like this camping trip with some fellow CJ2Apage members.
 
I bring this up now,  because I ran into one of my previous buddy's relatives today.  He asked if I had talked to my former buddy recently.   I have not,  but now plan to get in contact with him  (he is a junior in high school !!)
 
Here is the photo we took back then,  (still my avatar).
 
 
The photo looks so serene,   but there was a lot going on behind the scenes.   The sun was setting fast,  and only had something like a 10 minute window of good light.  I had three other kids running around (but hiding behind the bank in photo).  One of them is holding the fishing string tight,  haha
 
Good times!

That's an excellent photo!

ETA: What does your ol' buddy remember about that photo session?  How about the whole "Buddy" thing?

There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable
