On Easter weekend I sneaked a few quick shots in silent mode of my father concentrating on the football news in the local paper. We'll be celebrating his 95th birthday this coming weekend and though recently not well, is still as sharp as a tack.

Very nice Jay.
May he celebrate many more...He's not reading about the Richmond or Carlton woes is he?

Bud

Wonderful candid. He looks fantastic, especially for 95! "Century minus 5." Awesome. It is a blessing to have a sound mind at his -- actually, at any -- age.

I like this a lot. We owe so much to the generations which preceded us. Did your dad like this?

Thanks Bud. It's in NSW, Bud and dad's been a Rugby League fan all his life as I have but both of us also follow the Swans in the AFL.

Thanks GE. Until recently he has always been fit and healthy.

He hasn't seen it as yet, Bob, but will on Sunday. My daughter has organised a gallery of dad through the ages which will be screened at his 'party'.

Lovely B&W photo. Like the hair light and his gaze at the newspaper! He still looks very sharp. TFS!

Shots like these create memories for years to come.

Unfortunately my father passed away in the same year by son was born, but through the power of the camera my son has been fortunate enough to know his grandfather.

Great shot, and I am sure is destined for the family photo album.
