I don’t know where this kid got his RGB sweatshirt, but it’s the mullet that makes the ensemble.

Hey! That’s me! Just kidding – actually I have a picture of me in front of Ecto-1 when I was a little kid if anyone want’s a laugh!
Childhood photos in Ghostbusters swag is always encouraged – send away.
Wish I still had my childhood photos. I went as a GB for Halloween in ’89 and has like 100 pics. Sigh.
maaaaaaaaaaaaaan
Yeah, that is weird…what kind of parents does this kid have?? Or are mullets making a comeback amongst the youngsters?
Does that kid have a mustashe?
There’s a link to a Flickr-photo of this on this websitee…but it doesn’t say anything about him being born recently(ish)…did someone email this photo to you or…??
80es never die!!
Photos taken with a digital camera are marked with EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) data, including when the photo was taken.
According to Flickr, that photo was taken with an Olympus camera today. It doesn’t look it, but it’s possible the camera took a picture of a photo. But right now, it could go either way, so I’m going with Flickr’s assurance that it’s a recent picture.
i’m pretty sure that it’s a pic of a pic. it’s not a very clean image… there are dirt smudges and dust specs all over it.
either way, it’s freaking hilarious!
Okay, i’ll bite my lip and email it over to ya Chris. I found it the other day and immediately emailed it back home to my mum and dad in the UK, my studio mates got a kick out of it too!
Okay, I scanned them at work so i’ll have to email them Monday. Until then, have a great weekend GB fans!

Niiiiice! Now, we wait for Chris to post his.
For anyone who doesn’t know, Chris queried about the kid’s photo on the Flickr page, and the account holder (the kid in the photo) responded. He said that it’s “a really old photo, not sure how old I was but it’s easily 15 years ago (I’m 27 now). Never knew that was called EFIX data, but yeah I basically took a picture of it with my camera ‘cuz didn’t have a scanner available.” So that solves that mystery. Which means that we can all rest easily knowing that the mullet is NOT making a comback.
Charles, wasn’t your picture printed in one of the RGB comics? I swear I remember seeing a kid dressed like that, with the red glasses, in one of the comics.
A photo of me dressed as Peter Venkman for Halloween in 1988 (I was 11 years old) can be found here.
