Self Portrait #4

For Janice

"I could be handy mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride.

Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more?
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When (now) I'm sixty-four?"


Written by Paul McCartney.
Probably not for me, or my 64th birthday in 2009!. :-)

Is your birthday on April 9th?
If so...then, Joyeux anniversaire today Colin!!
What a coincidence, i was just browsing your galleries randomly.
If not today then...whenever in 2012! Happy birthday :)

Nice SP, Colin ... looks like you could get back in uniform pretty easily. I'm afraid I'd have to cut the back out of mine.

WONDERFUL PORTRAIT and nice looking camera!
Guest 23-Sep-2009 02:49
guess it is too late to wish you a happy birthday - very remiss of me - you are looking great - half the man yet twice the man :-) you look very happy - wonderful - i agree with Ann :-) ZS

Nice self portrait!! Great to meet you! :)

I'm timidly approaching large format photography. I have a Graphic View camera that I picked up cheaply that I got to use some 4x5 tri-x that was given me. It's turning out to be a bit daunting, but I'm hoping to work on taking some shots with it this Fall.
