Guess who? I always find it remarkable how some of us grow up from adorable children to be equally adorable adults!

I hate having my photo taken too. I don't need reminding that I have aged. You, on the other hand, have nothing to be ashamed of there Sharon.

Me "a couple of years" ago and now in a self portrait.

You are kind sir.
Cell phones tend to have a habit of "cleaning up" wrinkles ;-)

We've all aged Trev. Nothing to be ashamed of, you have aged nicely.

Not sure if the folks on the other side of the pond will fully appreciate just how funny this is.

Need to edit the one on the right to highlight the pickup truck in the back, no?

Love it! I do need to ask my hubby, as he is London born.

And my lovely wife and I planting a (very small) tree in the Costa Rican rain forest on our 45th wedding anniversary, three years ago

Here I am in 1959, at 19-years old and attending the U.S. Navy Basic School of Photography aboard Naval Air Station, Pensacola, Florida. I am the one holding the 4x5 inch negative...



Here I am in 2019 at 79-years old (in the print shirt) with my wife and my cousin, Bob Hadley from North Carolina. I have a lot less hair and more facial scars now than I had at 19!!!



This was the first time I met Bob in person. We met online through Family Search DNA testing several years ago and are both active in the genealogy of our families. It appears that our mutual ancestor was James CROW (1770-1845) of South Carolina and Mississippi. However, we are the closest match in the DNA project. I have met numerous cousins through my genealogy studies and have learned loads about my family.

I met a Tennessee cousin, online, whose closest mutual ancestor was my second great grandfather, William Erwin (1797-1863) of Tennessee. I can trace my family through his line back to William the Conqueror... She greeted me online like a long lost family member and said - "You just have to come meet us in Tennessee. After all we are kinfolk." She added that I didn't need to worry about the Stantons (William's wife was a Stanton) because the Erwins and the Stantons, "...are friendly now. Even though they fought on opposite sides in the WAR!" The war she mentioned was. of course, the American Civil War 1861-1865 I felt like I was in a time warp when I talked with her

My turn now!


1. Age 15 months, just before we moved from Germany to Canada






2. Late teens - my guess would be me at 18 or 19. This is a print I made and I stopped darkroom work after 1st year university.






3. 2004 at Everest Base Camp - just restarting getting into serious digital photography. I had my Leica R3 and my Canon Powershot S40 on that trip. That was the last trip I shot film.






4. Recent shot (late 2019)
