Nice Family Photo photos

A few nice family photo images I found:

Pake on a bicycle in Denmark

Image by Josh Koonce
This is my Pake, or grandfather, Ed Brower, on his bicycle in 1953 in Denmark. He was stationed here for part of the Korean War. That's his army uniform; he's in front of a creamery.

I asked my mom, on her recent trip to my grandparents' house, to collect some old family photos that include bicycles. Planning on posting a few a day for the next couple of days.

Cool Family Photo images

A few nice family photo images I found:

Me and Mum

Image by Earthworm
This is the picture we're using for the cover of the book, only in black and white. It captures the voice of the book and hints at the bi-racial perspective. The book is a lot about my mother's story coming to Thailand as a young wife. The book designers are lavishing lots of attention on the book. This wouldn't normally be so for a first time writer. My publisher is throwing lots of money into it because he's trying to ramp up his publishing company and this is the second book to be published by Blue Toffee. The publisher is also, incidentally married to my cousin, which just goes to show that it's true what they say about having connections. All the American agents I sent it to didn't feel it would have a big enough audience in the US. There is, however, lots of interest in interacial families in South East Asia where the book will be distributed (Singapore, Malaysia and Bangkok. What an interesting book tour that's going to be.)

Long Lost Family Photo: Our Dog "BB"

Long Lost Family Photo: Our Dog "BB"

Image by Canadian Pacific
You don't know how elated I was the other day when I came across the negatives of these three photos.

This was our dog, family, BB. One day in 1977 or 1978, my brother and I came home from school to find we had a new addition to the family. My uncle (on my mom's side) lived in rural Hong Kong and his bitch had given birth to some 10 pups.

He made the long track to downtown Kowloon and gave us one of the pups. When we got this dog, he was only a month old and we named him BB, an anglicized Chinese term for "baby."

We took these photos probably in the mid-1980s but we lost the printed photos as we moved to Canada. I've often missed the photos and wondered if I would ever see them again.

The other day, while going through some old boxes, I came across some neglected negatives and found the long lost photos.

Here is my on-line memorial for you, BB. Rest well. We all miss you.

With love.

Family volleyball[Day224]*

Image by Chapendra
My family has this odd attachment with the game volleyball. Some people in my family say it is "just because mass groups can play". But I know it runs deeper than that. Ever since I can remember, volleyball has been ALWAYS played during the family reunion [even my Grandpa can remember playing at my age]. From the youngest then the oldest, everyone plays at least one game. Or they talk smack on the side line, aka in proper form, coaching.

Camera on tripod, remote in hand, snapped a half or dozen so, this one turned out the best. Cross processed.

[Please notice; live vicariously in my photographs being I'll be uploading a TON, I just wanted to get these done first and for most.]

Just reposting one of my favorities =)

I took this photo at the top of a mountain on the island of Langkawi, Malaysia. I could not resist as they were wearing such wonderful bright clothing and they seemed so happy together. I have applied HDR treatment, and have also used Topaz to smooth out the photo.

Matriarchal Love

This is the grandmother of the bride from the wedding this past weekend. Everyone was so happy she was able to make it to the wedding.

I generally love and appreciate the wisdom of people that have been around longer than me, and it was refreshing to see how far family will go for one another.
