My son plays oboe, secondary instrument is piano, and is taking up drums so he can be in marching band in high school.

I've shot the oboe, the piano, and when the drums arrive will be shooting them too.

Posted in other threads previously (and hence small here)

Probably Scott Page, although Tom Scott also played sax on the studio version.

She's agreed to put on full motorcycle leathers (and anything else i want to dress her up as) for more shots

(now to find leathers that i can rent that would fit someone 4'9" :)

I've still got my leathers, but unfortunately I'm 6 2, and in the UK.

My great aunt, at the age of about 75, was walking home one day thruogh her village when a youth, sitting on a wall, stuck his foot out to block her way. She looked him in the eye and said, 'If you don't move your leg I'll kick it!'. At this point he backed down:)

At 88 she was still demonstrating that she could put her legs behind her head!

As we get older our life is etched on our faces. Some people also get more honest and so what you see is waht you get. These people are worth photographing, being far more human than the young mannequins preferred by the fashion industry:)

I suspect that ours is the first culture to value youth over age and experience - though happy to stand corrected on that one.

Well, I guess I will have to continue the theme here with one of my favorite shots of two old people in a historical society setting:

Docents_F13404R.jpg

Douglas A. Kerr - Docents 2009​

Here we see Douglas A. Kerr, P.E. (Ret.), age 73, and Carla C. Kerr, age 71, dressed to serve as docents (volunteer guides) on the December, 2009 annual historic homes tour of the local historical society in Weatherford, Texas.

The shot was taken in a new (but nevertheless historic) home, the New World Headquarters, in Weatherford.

Hi Doug,

What a handsome couple you make.

I must now ask you what a Scotsman wears under his kilt, as I never had the opportunity to ask my Grandfather

Cue the old joke:
"Is anything worn under the kilt?".
"No, it's all in perfect working order!".

Regards,

Stuart
