@notsorandompics said "I'd like you to take on the challenge of recreataing an old photo, by keeping the same scene & same people in it, so that the time passed by makes it humorous. I hope you will have a fun with this." I have given this a fairly loose interpretation based on a well known image.

@notsorandompics at Darwin Airport after a 4hour flight waiting for the thrilla to Manilla at 3am. Did a little editing on plane after uploading scans this morning.

[Charlene Barker]

Love it

[Brian Baptie]

Has such a 70's appeal to it!!

[Mary Downing Hahn]

That's perfect, Peter. I love that you're holding a camera.

[Jane Pittenger]

Awesome, timeless, cool processing

[eva]

Wonderful interpretation and capture.

[carol white]

Haha! - clearly a fav. Thought I'd come up with the title of the week today, but not so sure now.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

LOL This is such a cute picture. Love it.

[guaranteed]

really nice, i assume post-process on the digital "print" to further the feeling? the green vignette is great. :)

[Peter de Graaff]

@guaranteed edited a scanned film negative for fun

This brought back memories of my grandparent's (who were farmers) home in South Dakota--their copy of the American Gothic took center stage.
Your Australian version is slightly less stern than the puritanical Americans. Nice one--and the camera is PERFECT!

[Maaikel]

I just love this one, well done!

[Kathryn Marshall]

Fun shot. When I lived in the state of Iowa, there were a lot of recreations of the Grant Wood painting.

[Karen H]

Ha ha ha fun interpretation. Nice rising to the challenge

[Spirrow]

Ahaha Gothic Going Green.

[Sharon]

[Cathy]

Very fun interpretation!

[Harry J Benson]

Love this, a nice fun photo

[diane day]

fun capture...looks like a photo faded by time. And now for a new challenge. I really enjoyed viewing your photos. You have some amazing shots of architecture. I didn't see many moon shots. Since a full moon is soon to appear I would like to challenge you to shoot the moon. Hopefully the weather cooperates for you.

[Not So Random Pics]

Brilliant :)) You really made me laugh & most certainly met my challenge expectations, great job!

[Sue]

Very 70's shot. How a fabulous time!

[Caryn]

Haha! Love this...have a great journey.

[Marilyn Wigen]

What a fabulously fun shot! The editing is perfect... :)

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot and great editing.

[Sally Ings]

Definitely has a 60s or 70s feel.

[Cindy McFarland]

I do love how you processed it!

[Pam]

Cool shot!!

[EvaHenriette]

Great portrait shot.

[Dave Schofield]

fav for me, geniusness. great shot, for some reason the format seemed wider than a normal 35mm shot, thats the wide angle affect I guess, love the light and the tones, and the OM1. It all started with an OM1, that's my motto anyway, it sounds cooler than it all started with a Zenit EM.
