We’d spent the afternoon at a friends daughter’s wedding where I’d been helping out as an assistant photographer. When we got home Ginger decided we should take advantage of the ‘golden hour’ light and get a new profile picture.

The brief was fairly straightforward. Take an existing drawing of a map, colorize it and add more map labels. The challenges were firstly, that the map was already colored, and secondly the elements of the drawing would have to be moved to make space for the additional labels.

It’s that time of year again, it seems Lanie gets older every year! Whatever happened to the seven year old who was here when I first visited the US?
