June 19 2008:
Gran makes it into the Gazette

Home

Not everyone makes it to 105, but my Nan did, and so made it into the Hackney Gazette on her birthday back in August 1982.

Maybe this is the last picture taken of her, as she passed away the following March.

Cropped and Resized

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro
1/320s f/2.8 at 100.0mm iso800 full exif
