1. Wear clothes that fit.
2. Pull up your pants.
3. Put your hat on straight. (The bill goes in the front.)
4. Get a job!

@ Sammy ... Now that you mention it, the portrait on the wall looks more like Al Sharpton to me.

.. All grown up.

I just want to mention to Party in his/her pants that BOTH of the two young men wearing ballcaps in this picture have the bills pointing forward.

The dude in the front actually looks like someone I know. (hale and hearty hello out to Diggitydiggitydiggity.)

Looks like Benjamin took a punch in the face. Or maybe has a big old dip of copenhagen in there.

Did anyone notice the strange depiction of Benjamin Franklin on the wall behind them?

@Party In My Pants...

These don't look like the types that don't have jobs, at least not all of them I'm sure.

But I agree on the clothing bit. The Colts fan on the left seems to have been wearing bigger and bigger football jerseys through the years until it can be legally classified as a mu-mu! Look at the length on that!

uh, Mw, I think that is what Sammy Davis Junior, Jr was referring to.

party in my pants - you f***ing racist - how do you know they don't have jobs?

how about a little bit of respect for other people's culture other than your own.

and by the way - their bills are facing to the front, and you can't even tell where their pants sit from the picture, nice try.

it's people like you that make this world an ugly place.

I can't take my eyes off the bottom R corner of the photo. It looks somehow damaged, but not. Like a tear, but it's not torn because the pic is there, complete. So what's going on there? On the left and centre it's clearly damaged, but there the bits are missing.

I am intrigued.

Wow, I'm dissapointed at some of the racist comments that came out from this picture.
They look like a group of guy friends being goofy and posing for a photo.

Well, you guys are kinda funny, too. Do you even READ other peoples' comments? Not that it's a requirement, or that most of them are worthy of your time, but Benjamin and the baseball caps have been mentioned.

@baby basil in the herb garden
I see what you are talking about and in the bottom left corner it looks like a little cat sitting on his brisket. But it is probaby just water damage.

brain problem situation in my head
@bbasil - It's a Polaroid, which relies on a chemical reaction to process itself, internally. That's what happens when you fold, spindle, or mutilate the photie before it's finished processing itself.

Is the young male on the right, in the silver track suit giving what is known as "The Shocker?" Which gang uses that hand symbol?

Clover in the hood
When I was 18, just graduated from high school, I and two friends (a girl and a boy) hitch-hiked down the coast of California. We departed Portland, Oregon and went to LA. This was 1970.

When staying at a crash pad in the bay area, I split off with my camera and explored Berkeley. I ran into a group of teenage boys hanging out in a park near the university. I had a twin lens reflex camera, and black and white film. Well, I started talking to these kids, and they were pretty friendly so I asked if I could take their picture. They immediately struck the most wonderful pose!

I snapped only one picture. I was so excited to have the opportunity to photograph them, and my settings were ASA 400 so I wouldn’t have to use a flash. (I hate flash.) It was rather dark.. a shady eucalyptus grove. I told them I would send them copies of the photo, and they gave me a name and address. Of course I couldn’t see the result until the film was developed. Unfortunately the picture was slightly blurry. But it was a good shot, and would have been great, had it been in focus. I had a darkroom in my parents’ home, and I did print enough 8x10 copies for each of them, and mailed them to the address they gave me. I never heard from them. I wonder if they liked the photo, and I wonder where they are now.

So, this picture reminds me of those boys. These guys could be the grandsons of those boys.

I'm am disappointed with all the racist comments.

I also was unaware that you could determine if a person has a job or not just by a picture. I mean, unless they are holding a "Will work for food" sign or something, it's pretty hard to tell, especially in this economy.

Once I went to a hip hop concert with a friend and in the lobby, they had similar backgrounds set up so you could get your picture taken. This find makes me wish I would have got one.
