Tomorrow is my Dad’s birthday. Each year around this time he gets together with his mates from high school (and their families) in the Blue Mountains.
I haven’t got to go every year, actually I’ve only got to go a couple of times in recent years, but last year was Dad’s 50th, so I tried to do something a bit special. What I did was to collect some stories, some great memories, mainly from these mates coming to the weekend away, also family and other friends as well.
The project really turned out so much better than I expected, with lots of help in the design from Francisca. If you have read any of the issues of Capital Eyes, you will notice my artistic pedigree is not very high.
It was great to find all these old pictures and scan some of them in when I was putting everything together. This is me, not sure what age, maybe about 3 or 4. I had those little trucks for so many years, but they had a mean rust on them after many years outside, but in this picture they look close to brand new.
