A group portrait. A remake of one taken a couple decades earlier, but with the kids' mates added.

5x7, TMax400 shot at 100 accidentally -- but the light was dropping fast and it all worked out as I counted out one-ansel-adams, two-ansel-adams....
Neg photographed digitally on light table and inverted -- looks fairly close to what the platinum print will look like, but I think I can do much better.

Nice composition Vaughn, none of that dreaded centering stuff ;-)
