as soon as i have 2 seconds to type it up i'll write more about her. the quickie is... no we are not related. this is a sweet old lady named ricky i met here in atlanta who has traveled the world and seen a lot. she's 79 and has buried 3 husbands and 13 children. she's currently playin' sugar mama to a band of thugs here at the hilton in atlanta and the stuff i observed made even me blush. the photos below this one are a couple of her recent tattoos and the DNR stands for do no resuscitate .

My folks are her age. I've been thinking about this idea for them all week - a portrait of them holding younger photos of themselves, and then I just ran across your photo. I'm not sure how my parents would feel about the idea, but I guess it's worth a shot? Great portrait!

@ellen this one is a happy accident... improperly set white balance at high ISO, but, most of the other ones i think you like i get by cross-processing slide film (e6) as negative film (c41).
