To participate in Saturday Snapshot meme (hosted by Alyce over At Home With Books) post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken. Photos can be old or new, and can be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. All Alyce asks is that you don't post random photos that you find online.
This is a photo of my grandmother. I believe she is in her early twenties. People have often said I favor her - that's one of the best ways to get on my good side. For years I've wanted to recreate this photo with me as the subject. But over the years, when my hair was long enough I could never find anyone willing to try the hairstyle. Finally, now when I'm way older than she is in the picture, I found someone to help me out.
In the interest of full disclosure, here is the original picture. My hair stylist did a wonderful job, but I've been recovering from a lumpectomy (and perhaps was too stubborn about going back to work when I should have waited a little longer) and you can see how tired (ok, old, I look in this photo.) So, I decided it needed a little help.
Now, if I could just edit my face for real, life would be good.
