Since I’m still excited about personalized portraits (and waiting for my next victim) I thought I’d play around with a new style this weekend. This one’s an old family photograph that’s been circulating in my “circle.”
The original was scanned, and pretty small, so the task was to figure out how to keep it from getting stretched and pixelated. I decided to do it in black and white, turn it into an old Polaroid, and then add a background to frame it. If you haven’t guessed already (and why would you), I’m the little blonde in shorts sitting up front—on my Aunt’s lap. The tall, dark, and handsome man straight behind me in the very back is my dad (who is sadly, no longer with us), and next to him (on his left) is my mom.
I’m going to take a guess and say that this photo was taken in the late 60’s. Yikes. The good ol’ days indeed.
Good Ol’ Days
A phrase used by old people. When these words are used in combination it is a signal to young people to get the hell out. “Ahh yes the Good Ol’ Days. Did I ever tell you about the time we rode the train from St. Louis to San Diego?” (this is where you leave)

No way! you did? Well good for you. Thank you John! It was fun to work on such an old picture. With quarantine and all it may be a good time to go through boxes of old photographs from back in the day when it was film haha!

Laughing about exiting the room when old people start to tell stories of the good old days. It’s a test–how much grace and patience do you have? 🙂
