| Christmas 2024 |
Old age means that friends and family who were older when I was younger are all, with few exceptions,dead.
That is why it it pleasant to make and have new friends. One of them is photographer Ralph Rinke who is a busy photographer making cyanotypes, platinum prints and photographs on glass.
He came for a visit the other day and brought a lovely Christmas card made by his wife Susan.
In this scan I am bringing together the cyanotype portrait of me by Rinke (framed today), Susan’s Christmas card and a flower of the poinsettia that my friend Tim Turner brings me every year.
I no longer have the heart to put up a Christmas tree so Turner’s poinsettia and Susan’s card do just wonderfully.
And then there is this (very important) A Smile on a Sombre Day
