Friday, 1986 / Two photos

Our First Date '86

Two photos become one perfect first date in 1986: flowers at the door, a milkshake with two straws, the photo booth, the drive-in, and the porch light flicking on mid-goodnight. Shot by a little sibling who refused to stop filming.

What plays on the tape

AUG 22 1986
01

Flowers at the door

A denim jacket, a nervous bouquet, and a parent watching from the window. The date begins before anyone reaches the car.

02

Two straws

Cherry on top, jukebox in the corner, and a milkshake that requires sitting closer than either of you planned.

03

Porch light

The drive-in is over, the engine is off, and the porch light flicks on just as the goodnight gets good.

A first date that never quite ended.
