18th September, Grandpa's birthday

Not the best shot of the day maybe,
especially after a glass or two of champagne and a big dinner,
but I liked it if only because of Aiden curled up in the foreground.

My dad's 70th birthday.
That's him in the middle,
looking slightly bemused,
surrounded by his children and his thirteen grand-children.
My aunt and uncle nipped over from Donegal as a surprise at the last minute.

OK, If I'd paid any attention, I'd of noticed that it's YOU dad!!! I saw "Grandad" and my brain ran from there!!! LOL!! OK, I'm a moron...

We're headed to Cathi's sister's for a family get together today and I'm planning a shot like this. Got everything packed and ready to go.

Very nice shot. I like family pictures like this, with several generations. I can see how much you look like your grandad. Who's that on the far left? Looks like it could be a brother or your dad...
Guest 19-Sep-2004 19:42
Wow, this looks like such fun!
Guest 19-Sep-2004 19:34
That looks like a good time. It's always nice when family gets together. :-)

Ah what a splendid family shot! I miss my Dad, my Mom, the kids I haven't had...
Probably, the only thing I don't miss here is the JenOptik (what's that?), but that's another story ;-)

Great family shot. Try going into Colour Balance and reducing the Red by around 40%. It'll give less of a 'Red Wine' effect...

I love this! It's the type of huge, extended family celebration I grew up with. You caught it so well. This will be a treasure!
EMangl19-Sep-2004 18:00
ah ! now it makes sense why you did not invite me - no space anymore

I'm a dork. i was thinking... "man that guy in the back on the far right looks just like north... must be his brother.

Like I said.. i'm a dork.

Great pic.. especially of Aiden.... hope dad had a great day
