"Happy" kids


An old scanned picture (the beginning of the 1950s). There is a funny story about this photo. The children on the photo are my grandfather's kids: my mother, her older sister and her younger brother. My grandfather had a very despotic character and he could hardly bear any objections. Once upon a time he decided to take a picture of all his children together, but at that moment they were playing and didn't want to be "papped". But my grandfather made them pose, so they tried to make as protesting faces as possible.
I start to laugh always when I see this crazy picture, such terrible reproach in their eyes :-)))

Actually I remember about this photo when I saw this picture of Begga... there is something similar in the both pictures, isn't it?
This photo has notes. Move the mouse over the photo to see them.

Thank you Matko, I'm going to post some scanned old pictures of my family later in the winter, because I will not take many pictures in the winter usually, so I will have to post some old stuff on iper :-)

Gunnsteinn Jonsson pro replies:
I did not remember but I had already posted one of the photo I was thinking about when I was talking about your photo :) I remember my son was so tired of me always telling him to do this and that in front of the camera so I had to bribe him with candy so I could take this shot :)
