Two Guys

Happy Summer!
Happy Father's Day!
Here's a special portrait. Just two guys sittin' on a step. I think Justin was two at the time of this photograph. It's one of my favorites ever. Just two guys in their Converses sitting on the back stoop. He was and still is one happy-go-lucky kid. Me? Simply put today. I don't know how it happened that I ended up with J. I guess, I'm just one lucky guy. I ended up with a 'beautiful boy'.

    1. PS Not related, but have you seen the art show of John Calvin Stevens at the UNE gallery? I think you & Elenka would like it. The information about the architect and his buildings was also very interesting. It's such a wonderful art museum!

  9. That is a great photograph and beautifully hand colored. Since we have gone to "plastic' print paper the art of hand coloring has just about been lost.

  10. Obviously, Elenka is a huge talent. I would not have realized it had been hand colored. A great photo of father and son. Happy Father's Day, Birdman!

  12. What an excellent image to remember that special time of your lives. And, my compliments to Elenka for superb coloring of the black and white image.

    With a little powder, you would make a pretty good Mark Twain.

  16. I was out of town over the weekend so I missed this. What a great photo! I bet it brings back all kinds of great memories. Elenka did a fabulous job of coloring that photo. I had no idea it was not a color photo to start with.
    Oh, and happy belated Father's Day!
