Remembering
I took this photo a few years ago when I was first experimenting with large format. Last year my mother was diagnosed with colon cancer. She completed her treatments this last September. This photo helps me remember my mother and father as I want to.

I am going to miss that film Ben. 55 P/N was a unique tool that can never be replaced. This masterful portrait is a fitting end to the Polaroid era.
And yes, I know all about living up to (or more often failing to) live up to parents' expectations. I reckon I never did become "respectable" in their eyes. -

Its a happy coincidence this photo turned out looking similar to the painting you mentioned! My parents really get a kick out of this portrait of them.
