Four Years Ago

Sometimes in a miasma of ennui I click on an old photo folder. Which is what happened this morning after waking up too darn early with a stomach ache. This stomach ache thing is happening with some frequency lately, but it's usually mild. This morning, it wasn't. But I shall spare you a blow by blow recounting as it were.

Anyway, with no new photos to fiddle and faddle with and with nothing much else to occupy me, I happen to click back to March 2013 and was quite surprised to find a number of cute photos of the kiddies. Photos which I don't think I had ever edited. It's fun to look back from time to time, but I don't usually expect to find nice shots that I had previously ignored, it usually just being sort of a walk down memory lane.

Taken at Easter and Sue's birthday, JJ had just turned 4 and Danica was about to turn 6.

First, I liked this one of Danica and decided to process it as a black and white. Aside from the conversion to mono, I didn't do a whole lot of editing. For some reason the background was already dark like that although I darkened it a bit more.

I found a series of Jonathan photos that seemed like they belonged together. It's also a b&w with a bit of a split tone coluring applied (as is the case above but that one had less).

Then I found more Danica pictures that I liked. I tried those in monochrome too, but they seemed more suited to colour.
