 The best things you can say about this is that it's on film and it's b&w.

I think it was taken around 1966. I was a graduate student in Mexico City and had to take my car out of the country every six months. That meant a trip to the border, spend the night, and turn around and come back for another six months. This was taken at a gas station somewhere in South Texas. All I remember is that it was really hot.

The camera was a Pentax H3v, and I was probably using Kodak Plus X film which I developed in the university dark room.

This is an honest life bite. The bell bottoms, long hair and the old 63 Dodge truck in the left BG give me flashbacks to those days. This is a nice one to share with us in the "Film" thread.
