Me, Chicago circa 1969, on the street where I grew up

Another picture taken by my brother Tony, I believe. My parents were both professional photographers, so it's pretty easy to distinguish their work from, ah, others. My question here is: were cropped pants and cropped sleeves the style, or had I grown more that summer than my mom realized? It must not have been too long after this picture was taken that all the large trees on our street, like the one next to me, were cut down -- dutch elm disease.
