My mother was 97 yesterday
Sunday, May 27th, 2012
Los Angeles, California. Another year, another birthday. Amazingly, my mother is still going (a bit less strongly) at 97. I couldn’t get her to sit for enough shots to get a bit of a non-forced smile out of her so this rather serious look was the best image I got. Trust me, she still has her (naughty) sense of humor and still surprises all of us with her verbal wit.
Amazing.
Richard, This portrait of your Mom really turned out very fine. Happy Birthday Frances!!
Thanks Gary, I’ll let her know you like it.
Happy birthday, Frances! I can’t believe another year has passed already.
Amazing, another year… Happy Birthday Frances!
Wonderful, Richard! What a great series of shots of your mother you’ve made. How about a chronological set one day? Great job.
Thanks all. Scott, I’m beginning work on a MagCloud print piece on my mother. Not sure it will have a chronology although that’s a good idea but it will have images of her and scanned ephemera. I have a lot of stuff on her from way back. Let’s see if I can finish it at some point…. any point.
Richard
great picture and exiting time
Edward: There’s nothing like a DSLR with a nice lens for a picture like this. No way could a smaller camera do this although they’re getting closer.
I would normally shoot this with my 135mm f/2 L but I used my 100mm f/2.8 IS L Macro instead and it worked quite well.
yes it sure did
Happy Belated Birthday Frances! You really look wonderful.
Thanks Amy, she’s still kicking. Amazing.
Yay – Frances! And what a wonderful portrait, Richard!
Sandrine! Great to hear from you, long lost friend. Thanks. Maybe I have a few of those genes… ya never know.
Happy Happy! Amazing, she looks really wonderful!
Thanks Gedas.
