#29: My Mother at 17 – Mid 70s
This photo radiates pure 70s confidence—hands on hips, sunlight catching her hair, and those high-waisted, wide-leg overalls doing exactly what 70s fashion did best: making a statement. At 17, she looks poised and self-assured, the kind of teen who knows her style and isn’t afraid to own it.

The open field behind her adds a simple, almost cinematic backdrop, letting her bold silhouette take center stage. You can almost feel the warm air, the quiet rural calm, and that unmistakable teenage energy of dreaming big. It’s a portrait that feels both grounded and full of possibility, frozen in some very groovy time.
