Title: Street Child Sicily can you help him!
Post by: Treetotal on Tuesday 28 September 10 20:03 BST (UK)
Hi all,
I have been cupboard clearing...Grooooooan..and found some slides of Oh's travels during his navy days...He has asked if they can be restored and there are many..so...I am looking for a little help from my friends and I am sure you will be captivated by this little boy.
BTW...he was paid for the sitting  ;D ;D ;D
Please don't do this at the expense of others.
Thanks ~ Carol

Aw thanks Irene...I love the way you've brought his features out...there's a wry smile there isn't there...Isn't he a little treasure :-*...Thanks so much for doing this one for me...I really appreciate your time :-*
I think I will need to scan the next one a bit higher than 600.

Hi Iria, I love the black and white version 8)...it really suits the photo and is a different take on the subject...I really appreciate your time.
I wonder if he has a grown up family of his own now.
I'm thrilled with them all :-* :-* :-* :-*

Hi Tomkin...How nice of you to put in a guest appearance to help with my street boy...I think you could identify with him :P ;D ;D ;D
Thanks for spending time on it...I like this one a lot.

Thanks Iria for the lovely coloured version :-*..it's very subtle and has the faded look of an older photo....I have one of a little girl too who could be his sister.

Hi Carolyn...This one has a great combination of earth tones and the border compliments the photo as does the texture...Thanks so much for giving him a bath and a change of clothes :-*
I appreciate your time.

    If the pic had been taken in Barnsley, and if he had been wearing

    clogs, then that certainly could have been me.

    Tomkin ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

    ( I was almost tempted to post a picture of me at that age, just to show you.
        But I resisted the temptation  ;D ;D ;D)

Tomkin....You and resistance is a contradiction in terms...now put your clogs where your mouth is...this board could do with a bit of a laugh  :P ;D ;D ;D
Come on...don't be shy ;)

  No can do Gel!  I don't want people to see a beautiful,

   angelic child and then slowly turn, look at me and say " What the hell

   happened? where was the tram crash?"
