Hey, Grandma Moses started late!
I was certainly surprised to see that you were a young innocent lad, rather than a debauched gone to seed lecturer or lecherer, if you will. You can't be me, I'm taken
Last Sunday we went for lunch with friends to Club Nautique, Nice, which has great views from the terrace. Later we walked round to La Reserve and had drinks in its bar, also with great views:
As the sun began to set I saw these glasses and bottle outside and resolution was good enough (especially for the web) to use quite small sections of the image, as the zoom only goes to 112mm on the Lumix:
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

Original of "Don Salvador" About 16x20 inches, I had to scan it in four sections. It looked like a reprint of a badly damaged earlier print. Output for the restoration was also 16x20 and I digitally hand colored it. The client (Salvador's 79 year old grandson) like color over B&W.
The restoration. This one is covered in a hard acrylic shell. I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell. _ Blood Sweat & Tears
Just before our daughter recovered fully from surgery, several weeks ago, Tabasco experienced a terrible flood that forced 900,000 persons out of their homes, washed out major roadways and generally disrupted life there. The flood waters have receded but things are not close to being normal yet. To add to the misery, the overflowing of several rivers caused a mountain to slide into and block one of the main rivers between two reservoirs. The government has been struggling to remove the blockage before more rains overwhelm the reservoirs. On December 18th they are supposed to redirect the river and release a lot of water from the reservoirs. The local government fears that this could cause another great flood downstream as it did before. I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell. _ Blood Sweat & Tears
It is narrated by a Gecko and the main character he discusses makes up histories/identities for people. These histories based around real events with real people as the 'new' parents and relatives, photos to back it up as well as dates and places. But your photos remind me of that book, how I imagined the old photos to be that he gave to his clients in constructing their new selves.
Wonderful. Ad astra per aspera

The photo (3x4") was so faded and covered with mold that I really couldn't tell what color the dress was, so I decided it was some shade of blue. Later she told me it was yellow, so I made one of each.
yup that's paddy, i thought you'd be happy to see him again, i haven't showed him off here for a while..he's building a lot of muscle and is getting a bit more salty, as in nippy...
he doesn't get so much attention living at the stables as he does at home.
could be the cold, too.
he settled down once we started working, and did a good job.

what do you say, colman? ~"When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." Karl Jung~
Of course, a horse grooming you with his teeth is going to feel like being bitten, because we don't have a nice thick coat of hair to protect us!
