the faded worlds inside old pictures..

[flaviomatani]

I’ve had a couple of days of something like saudade, of a longing brought about by Facebook, in which friends from long ago from two very different times in my life have brought up pictures in which I stand, younger, with impossibly ridiculous windscreen glasses, jeans and in some cases 70’s moustache and even beard.

There's probably a cookie that FB uses to ID you - it does appear to be permissions-related, i.e. we can't see them because we're not friends of the owner. Message is:
