Wait A Minute Baby

Carly Emerick (1992) in Shadyside, Pittsburgh PA

Here's a shot of me taken back in 1992. I was living in Pittsburgh's Shadyside neighborhood at the time. It was exciting living and working in the city. I worked at a grocery store called The Food Gallery as a cashier. It was just right down the street from where I lived so I could walk to work. 

The guy who bagged the groceries for me was a huge Fleetwood Mac fan and so was I. We'd often have philosophical debates over who was a better songwriter Stevie Nicks or Lindsey Buckingham. I always championed for Stevie Nicks. "Wait a minute baby. Stay with me a while. Said you'd give me light but you never told me about the fire."

Big love, Carly xoxo

Here's a young Hoyt serving 1990s selfie realness. All you needed was a bathroom mirror and a 35mm camera. Oh yeah, you also needed a whole lot of patience as it would take weeks to get your film developed and sent back to you by snail mail. Oh yeah, you also had to remember to check (✔) the box if you wanted doubles. Lastly, did you want a glossy or a matte finish? Oh, the trials and tribulations of it all.
