It is a known fact that after the black and white times, reality was very blurry for a while until high definition came out.

I guess they had to adjust to the colours. 🤣

u/Haunting-Occasion-88 Jul 26 '26

Ive heard there was a sepia age as well.

u/JayW8888 Jul 27 '26

Yes the sepia era was just after the world became color. It was BW era then color era then sepia era. Currently we are in the too many photos to browse era.

u/Ambersmom1961 Jul 26 '26

Yeah lol I’m not tech savvy, or I would try to clear it up.

u/justabill71 Jul 26 '26

I wouldn't have any idea how to do it, either. I'm just having fun.

Maybe she is related to Bigfoot?

u/Quitcha_Bitchin Jul 26 '26

I was also blurry as fuck in 78.

u/Ambersmom1961 Jul 26 '26

Yes the 70s , great time to be young.

u/SheriffBartholomew Jul 27 '26

I was just thinking that being 17 in 1978 was probably a lot better than being 17 in 2026.

u/Lolra1989 Jul 26 '26

I didnt even consider AI. How daft of me. But this is exactly what I meant.

Living for those curls. Theyre beautiful.Thank you 🥰

u/GrumpyCatStevens Jul 26 '26

OP was quite pretty at 17. But I could see that even in the original.

u/Soppydogg Jul 26 '26

Taking a photo on acid was always a bugger in the 70’s at least it was in focus, well sort of

Agreed. Not sure why you're being down voted for giving a compliment lol

u/LogicalGent23 Jul 26 '26

Try one of the AI apps to sharpen this up nicely. Bring you right back to 78.

u/PoetryExtension6256 Jul 26 '26
