Very nice work Sue.

If they are anything like you, I'd love em

Nice images
Sue showing the real essence of the generation and the era.
I can just hear them using the expressions we are all so used to hearing from such lovely older folk.

 BTW - two excellent portraits, right there. (Hope that gets me out of trouble )

Great shots Sue. The last one is a beauty. You can certainly make that Fuji sing.

That would be me.


Sue,

The first of these ... the way that you've nailed the exposure on your grandma ... just magic.

Nice work Sue, love the processing

Great work Sue, I love both photos

nice work, i like your grandpa shot better. The first shot seems a bit too dark.

These are both great portraits Bindii.
I particually like the 1st of these, the shed scene tells a great story along with the portrait, love the treatment too.

Beautiful images Sue, I think the 2nd one and your treatment of it stands out the most.
Lovely work - keep on posting!

Thanks.. I tried to capture some of the background with my Grandmother because thats how I see her.. thats her environment.. believe it or not she is now 85 years young and still running racing stables...

Too true - especially moi!

As already mentioned once or twice Sue, these are great shots.
You are lucky to still have them about.

Wonderful candid portraits. I love old people, my kids reckon I am already old (at 45)! It's just that I still act like a 9 yo...
