Priviet (hello), my friends!
Maybe some of you remember Mery Hopkins singing Paul McCartney's song with this title (BTW its music is an old Russian folk song, sir Paul :-)
So.. of course its very interesting to see OUR faces here, but... think it will be more interesting to see us ... so to say... several years ago.
What do you think?
Who were you?
Your hobby?
Your favourite photo?
Here's my contribution:
More then 25 years ago -
I was a student of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics faculty of Voronezh State University.
My hobby was - !playing in a rock-n-roll band!
I played bass guitar / was a singer / author of music / virshes.

1 BTW this guy on the left of the photo now lives in Denver, Colorado :-)

This is me about 25 years ago. Fishing was my hobby then. I still do a little.
Unfortunately the cigarette is still there and the hair is gone.

Fun thread, Yuri!

Wow... 25 years ago??? I was 13. Yikes, the life ahead of me at 13.

I was playing sports, collecting stamps, and flirting with girls.

I biked and skied and would stay out until mom's 3rd warning.

Can't find a pic that goes all the way back to 13, but here's me at 16, maybe 17. (couldn't find my older photo albums)

OK, my turn. I was travelling with friends, visiting Senegal in Africa at the time. Photography was a hobby even then. I'm the one with the Mickey Mouse Shirt on. My hair style hasn't changed much.
