Portraits, any camera, any color, any subject

A handful of random portraits, taken at our local (in Talent, Oregon) open-air pub/restaurant, of family members.
The 6 year old grandson engrossed in a small toy vehicle--

Lawrence, what an inspirational post.

Big Brother Mouse is a truly worthy idea and organisation. I cannot even start to imagine a life without books, and their equivalent (e.g. Wikipedia). Not a single day passes that I do not refer to a 'book' in some form, often many times a day.

I would be lost without just my dictionaries - Chambers, full Oxford (plus Shorter, etc) and (Dr) Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (last edition c.1810).

The plight of a deaf child in such a world pierces my heart.

It was quite sad. Children with special needs in remote villages can be ignored and left out because no one is trained to help them. Big Brother Mouse has been making a big push to teach Lao sign language. The book party was heartwarming, and heart rending at moments. These kids were hungry for things to read and had mostly just had whatever the teacher wrote on the blackboard. Books still are not common, but more of them are being put out. Seeing the kids reactions to a new book is encouraging.

We have around 100+ metres of bookshelves in our home. Filled with books on almost every conceivable subject.

I have a set of Encyclopedia Britannica that those children would devour! No way of getting them to them ... If I donated them to anywhere in Australia, they would go straight to the tip :cry: :crying: .

Talk about an embarrassment of riches!
 
WENDY
I met Wendy at a BBQ A few years ago; only time. I noticed a couple of things. I’m about 6’ 2” and was looking upwards-slightly- at her. When I asked to take a pic she presented herself the way some pro models do. She moved her sunglasses, sat and turned her body angled toward the side.
She smiled and said that she had not been a model.
