Grand Dad Bill
Born August 1919, Bill was 90 years young the other month. Just the right age to play with in photoshop :)
Bill has been my model before:

Gee Andy this is good. Can you photograph me when I’m 90?
Andy Smylie replied
Why wait, My Dear. We can make you look any age you want – you know that. :)
Sharon Hammond
LOL – if you make me look 90 BEFORE I’m 90 I may have to take you off my xmas card list.
Andy Smylie replied
Ha! would not want that, would we. Anyway I am sure you will not look 90 even when you reach that ripe old age. :)
Lance Leopold
Andy!,can you imagine how old Sharon (a woman) will have to be before she claims she’s the big nine o???,and when i factor your age into the equation it all gets too scary to continue.Fabulous portrait and treatment!!
Andy Smylie replied
Ha Ha Ha! I had not thought of it that way Lance. Enough said :)
Thanks for the comment.

A very energenic looking gentleman,great portrait and treatment,love it.
Andy Smylie replied
Energetic is not an adverb I would use to describe Bill – but he is a good model to use for the processing I like – Glad you like it too :)
