Candid

These days, it seems like some of the photography is done with a lot of effort being put in to create unique cards. As a kid, looking at some of these, it seemed more like, the effort was put in to just take a lot of pictures and then just select something of interest. Like giving a camera to a kid - there usually a good shot or two, and take pictures of the unusual or what make them think and ask qestions, but may not be what you expected. 


If I was a kid - why take a pic of a guy with his helmet on, when you can take a pic and ask - where did his chin boo-boo come from?

Tim McGee chilling on the ground with a football and a friend - sure, that stands out.


Why is Saxon yelling at me? Where did Derrick get that headband and does he wear it under his helmet? Is Jackie gonna die?


My leg doesn't stretch as nicely as Sean's does. What are Ron and Carl looking so focused at - it's like they are looking into someone's soul. Why is Jacob's helmet so loose it looks like his face is getting smooshed inside.

Not complaining about the photography at all - just find that sometimes the photos raise more questions or provide more unique shots back in the day than we see now. Maybe it's just different styles, different times, but I love seeing the differences in looking back at many of these cards.
