Picture OF me not BY me... (and my sister)

The is a photograph I found in my loft. It is a treasured moment captured by my Father. Its probably the kind of shot that thousands – millions of people have but the look on my face is so how I remember feeling when I was overjoyed about something.

I could have cleaned it up a bit but I think leaving the staining and the creases etc place the shot in its place in time

I do hope its allowed to exist here even though it not by me – I want to celebrate it with you….. Thanks!
