Mom

Here's a shot my dad took of mom playing on a dam somewhere. And somewhen.

Twins....?

No, my mother does not have a twin sister. This is another one of dad's trick shots. I assume this is a double exposure.

Dad

Today would have been Dad's 90th birthday, so it's time for another one of his self-portraits. It's 1964, and dad has set up the camera on a timer for a family portrait. Note his unerring sense of timing as he blinks just as the shutter goes off. Also, this is clearly where my fascination with dolls action figures began. This is probably the earliest photo of the five of us: my parents, my two sisters and myself.

And this one, not taken by my father, is probably the last one taken of the five of us, from Christmas 1998, a couple of years before he passed away.
