It’s that time again…time for my monthly Weekend with Shades column at Shades of the Departed, The Humor of It. This month’s topic – the Fotomat! If you don’t know what a Fotomat is, well, that means you’re younger than I am. Take a peek at how I try to describe it to my nieces in Fotomat – What’s That?
That guy in the photo is certainly old enough to remember the Fotomats – that’s my big brother in 1960 and the father of my nieces who don’t quite know what to make of the whole concept. [In retrospect, I should have used this photo for my Weekend with Shades debut, Off With Their Heads!]
I think I enjoy your Shades intro as much as I do your articles. This one is a real winner and has touched so many people.
Thank you so much, can’t wait until next time!
