threesome...

    this was a sad time but i love this picture of dereck, stephanie and patrick...we are in albuquerque at my grandmother's house for my father's funeral in 1980...it was so hard for all of us but there was a sense of camaraderie and we were reflecting on the good times as well as the bad...my brothers and sister and i were very close growing up...

      You all look great and lucky you to have close relation with your siblings, not everybody is so fortunated.

      This is a cool shot! They are all so confident and Dereck looks like he knows he's cool!

      I really love the attitude of this. What a mark of the times.

      I love the attitude of this photo too. There is something about the "essence" in those old photos that is so unique- its funny bc you see a lot of fashion campaigns trying to recreate that essence, but it just never is the same!! Love this photo & the caption below it!
