almost grown [pho1]

in the investigation of the photos of joseph szabo [almost grown] we looked at high school life through a 35 year old lens- we saw images, which although they depicted big differences in clothing and hairstyles, also depicted an 'average' teenage life. what i need you to attempt on your blog is to answer some questions about these photos so that we can proceed on our own investigation of high school life...

1] what is the first thing that comes to mind after viewing the photos?
2] is it similar or different from what you see today?
3] do you think the photos are 'honest, or 'fabricated'? explain your answer.
4] if you were to give this assignment to someone else to shoot, what would you   consider the key ideas and areas to photograph?
