See any resemblance?

Of brothers and fathers. And Tim.

On the left: Tim (center) with his brother, Kent, and his father, Ed. Prescott, Arizona, circa 1983. On the right: Tim (center) with his brother-in-law, Grant, and his father-in-law, Grant. Port Townsend, Washington, September 2015.

This one just happened. . . Realizing that the photo I shot of Tim with my brother and dad this weekend looked familiar, I went digging and found its very similar older counterpart, taken in 30+ years ago.

Dressing one's age?

A "cross-dressing" project by the artist qozop. (In a series called Spring-Autumn, the artist took portraits of young people with their parents or grandparents, then had the two swap outfits.

Of kith and . . . kind?

I was going through some old photos and happened upon one, taken about 40 years ago, in which my sister, Cathy, and I are dancing. I was immediately struck by how much, in the photo, Cathy at age 6 looks like her son Ian. But I was even more struck by how much, in the photo, I at age 7 look like . . . me. See for yourself.

I know, I know. A long, roundabout way of stating the obvious. We look like our families; we look like ourselves. Still, it’s kind of fun to see it laid out so plainly via the medium of photography.
