I’m on vacation right now and Ferdinand is probably wondering where I am,each time I work I look for fresh fruits everywhere,his fav.peaches,pears and plums,sometimes I go downstairs at the cafeteria to beg for some….Everytimes he says «écoute la petite,what would you like me to buy for you ,tell me »and I say «nothing» ,he answers «They don’t have that in the stores»I t’s like a ritual …a few weeks ago ,her greatgrandaugther was hit by a drunk driver,20 years old,I though we where gonna loose him,Ferdinand was such in pain and sad,he didn’t want to eat or smile..Hopefully everybody went to talk to him very often ,he had more fruits… he told me last week that the girl was out of the coma and started to talk a little.Last month,I took his picture and told him that everybody said he was a handsome man.I explained to him that his portrait was all over the world…..«I didn’t even comb my hair » he said,it was funny.Mr Ferdinand is 95 years old ,he walks slowly and do everything by himself,never disturbing and always acting like a gentleman .A few women are after him but his wife died 6 months ago and he loved her so much ,I knew her ,a very funny lady.She was alzeimer.I hope he will be okay until I come back…Gigi Since I upload that pic,Ferdinand was told that he was gona die in a month or so due to his sick kidneys.Don’t ask me why the doctor told him I had never understood that part….He past away after 6 months of sufferring…thank you for taking the time
Yes I know what you’re all thinking…It’s ANOTHER PET DOG!!!!! Don’t panic you arty farty types…it’s only up for a limited time whilst I make some cards for a friends present. Then it will be strictly back to black polo necks and matching berets. Ciao baby. Postscript (Wow I literally just uplaoded this to make cards for a friends birthday. I had no idea people would comment on it! I feel compelled to point out – as those who know me understand – my humour is very dry and ironic. Don’t take anything I say seriously! Except for my Africa pics and this word – thanks…) :) I MIGHT ADD IF ANYONE WANTS TO BUY IT-GO ON, ON YA, YEAH NOW AND THAT!!!!!!!!!!!! COLLECT THE SET!!
A girl thinking in a bus shelter, I think not knowing you’re being photographed is the best way to get an expression out of someone. /
I know that in an artistic sense this is quite simple, however to me it has great meaning. The image is of my two boys who are also the best of friends. They have an unbreakable bond and here, they are doing something they love; just being together.

I found this photo amongst all my parents old albums and found out the little boy is actually my dad! I played around with it in photoshop and added a few bits and pieces to revamp the old shot as a new artwork. - Updated 1/02/08

To everything, / Turn, Turn, Turn / There is a season; / Turn, Turn, Turn. / And a time to every creature, under heaven. This photo is purposely grainy and choppy, to show the cycle of life. / Old, new and everything in between. / Those leaving, and those just coming. / Those with so much life, / And those with so much ahead. All things work together for a purpose unseen and unknown….!

An untouched portrait of my grandson James,he’s four.He was so tired of swimming at the lake all afternoon,when I took the shot,his face seemed to glow.We can see sand and water,he was lost in his mind and I cut that special look ,every time I look at this portrait,I stare for minutes… :))
