self portrait with relatives
I was given a photo recently of my granddad and it had a profound affect on me in that I never thought i really looked like anyone in my family on the male side. My brother, Dad and Granddad all looked similar with their architectural dimensioned noses and brows. But this photo of my granddad (on the right on the piano) from his late teens/early twenties does look kind of like me at that age. I'm a lot older now so not a great comparison but it still is similar I think?
I look a bit serious because, I felt a bit serious I also wanted to get a look a bit like his in the Photo. Also my wife and oldest boy are away for the weekend (he's looking at possible university places) so the house was too quiet and that made me a bit low this weekend. I did up my top button to emulate granddad's outfit, I'm a bit more relaxed around the house usually ;-)
Straight after this my youngest son (who stayed at home) came downstairs and and we messed about trying to sort out the ethernet link and sharing files between the eMac and PC upstairs. Being geeky cheered me up. =)
