Kelley’s mum gave us this picture on Sunday. It’s one of a series taken by our friend, Mark Tiedemann, in 1992. You’ve probably seen one of the others. But I sort of forgot we have others. I’ve put it up on my website…
…and now I’m reminded of my website. So I’ll be posting the occasional link to essay and whatnot over the next couple of weeks.

I always loved the other one, but this one is ten times better because you're both smiling.
I know. I look at this one now and wonder why on earth I preferred the other one back then. Don't get me wrong, I think they're both good–Mark certainly knows his business–but as you say: smiling!
Yes! I agree – love this one even more!
This is why I think portraiture matters. :)
Jennifer, perhaps we should put the matter to a vote…
I really need to scan those negatives and do some new prints…
BTW, it always helps to have such quality subject matter. :)
About portraits mattering, and this one inparticular? Nope, no vote necessary. Outcome known. :)
That's not just a smile. The look on your faces, and in Kelley's eyes says much more.
Love both of them. WOuldn't have guessed they were taken 20 years ago. : )
No, in answer to several questions: we do not have a picture in the attic…
What I love about it is:
Kelley looks kind of smug, “Yeah! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! MINE!”
Nicola looks gleeful, “Hip Hip HooRAY!”
Smug & Gleeful: a new comedy act, coming soon to a theatre near you…
