Stick a few bourbons in him and his grand daughter in his lap and even the most most stoic man will smile.

    May be my monitor (probably!) but I would love it to be a bit lighter to see his relaxed eyes and joyful smile. Beautiful portrait!

    Wow Eric...
    that's a breathtaking shot for sure! I spent quite a while looking at it, recollecting memories of very important people I've hugged, some of them a long time ago. iloveyou.gif

    Boy, it takes WAY MORE than an ordinary shot to make me feel like that, but you did it here! thumb.gif
    Thanks so much!
    Take care!

    Eric..


    This is such a sensitive shot . I love the gestures, the facial expressions--the lines of maturity on the grandfather's visage versus the snow white complexion of the granddaughter--accentuates the generation gap and link between the two. Wonderful black and white. A photo to hang on the wall and gaze at for years to come. Really great.
