It's a long time since I had this half plate bellows camera to make this self portrait, my mouth is open because I was out of breath crawling as quick as I could from the self timer set for ten seconds to my posing position, see I didn't have a cable release in my hand, can't remember the make of camera now, but it was the one I cut my teeth on.  [attachimg=#]

YOU took this? 

No its a portrait of me when I was about one, who knitted that jumper I don't know, the picture was taken by William Cross, 96 Duckworth Street, Darwen, probably 1948, its stamped on the back of the picture. Just looked on Google earth the shop has been demolished now, there is a square trough with some shrubs in where the photographers used to be.

LOL  I can see the resemblance!

You are funny. 

You sure were a cutie!

We all know you had a remote there in your left hand and your mouth was open to show us those new teeth.

Overestimated the amount of flash powder I needed by about half a pound, hence the startled look in my eye, and the appreciation that I was still in nappies. "Yes, watch the birdie," I did as it turned instantly from a lovely powder blue, to a very crisp black colour, I did miss that budgie.
