Great, great uncle Edward "Dick" McDonie. My dad says they called him the human thrasher...this shot is from the 1920s.

Slightly off topic, but my Gran found an 1940s (I think) early brownie that was my Grandads a long time ago, and gave it to me for Christmas. It takes 127 film and is still working fine (not much to go wrong with it, but glass is a little grimy).

So the next year I snapped some pics of her, my mum and dad and me, and gave them back to her framed for Christmas. No one thought it would even work so she was very pleased to have seen the camera in use. Thought I'd share that with you!

Below is me and the dog from the same roll of film, on the beach, Cornwall.

Well... I thought she was using the sports finder...

I hold my Yashica pretty much like that when I drop the front lid on it...
