Fairly certain this is a wedding day photo of my aunt Nettie (Janet) second from left, and uncle John, second from right, with their best man and maid/matron of honour.

56 Dundonald Road, Paisley, Scotland, mid 1950s:

That looks like East-Germany in the 80s.

This one.... my precious baby, soon to be 6! Over the past few months she's started looking so much older. I can't wrap my brain around it sometimes. And she definitely has her own fashion sense.

It is all her. She loves fashion. And all her poses. I just try to capture it.

My second, Ailsa, in her first year while we were posted to Ottawa. I'm holding my hand over the flash to avoid the glare. 35mm colour film, early 2009:

Gotta love the Jolly Jumper, and still wish they had adult models!

This one of Ailsa reminds me of one of those colour blindness test cards...

It used to be there to keep the dog out of the vegetable garden.

One of those shots taken by the photographer and then sold to you - my uncle Bobby on the right, in Glasgow, mid 50s before he emigrated to Canada. One of those shots where I ask myself what his chum's name was, did he buy a copy too, where is he now if still alive?

Sadly my uncle died in 1986 of a brain aneurysm, not even 60 at the time:

Another shot I love - my Aunt Nettie with my cousin Scott, Paisley, Scotland, about 1956. Scott was my only cousin born in Scotland, all the others followed in Canada:

Missed this file of my dad in Iraq, about 1942. Perfect shot - but for the closed eyes!

My elder half brothers John, left, and Michael. By their ages I'm gonna estimate this is about 1954. The car is a Custom something - any ideas folks?

MC, once again, fantastic run of photos. The ones of your Dad in Iraq are incredible. I love his uniform.

Looks about like a 52 Dodge, maybe a Desoto
