Description

This photo was made at my Mom's (2nd from right) request. New photo was taken at her 90th Birthday. This is her and her sisters. She wanted them in birth order so I had to move two people in newer photo and exchange heads on two in the older image. Done quickly so image is not perfect but I liked the effect.

Exif: F Number: 3.2, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/60 seconds, Flash: fired, auto mode, red-eye reduction mode, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 8.80 mm, Model: Canon PowerShot S2 IS

Thanks for the nice comments, Linda, Joanne and Naomi. The later photo here was made about three years ago. Mom is 93 now and in a nursing home but all of the sisters are still alive. The oldest, Nell, on the far right is about to turn 95. They all are over 80 now. Their mother was almost 102 when she died. Again, many thanks! #7438586

A wonderful creation, Tony. Actually, I'm sitting here shaking because your mother is the precise, exact, identical twin to my grandmother...who lived to a ripe old age in California.
If you're interested, I'll find a photo tonight and send it to you...just send me an email address via the contact link. It is so uncanny! #7439556
