A grainy monochrome selfie

I am a tad wary of posting this as it is not the best selfie. My daughter Claire shot it on my nifty fifty.

Claire, Kirsty and her husband Matt came round for a meal on Friday night.

Jane an I cooked Chinese for them.

I took some pics on my camera and Claire decided to take a couple of me. She didn't use the flash, hence the grainy low light, I think the focus is probably on my clunky "River Island watch", my hair needs a cut and my pose with my hand has pushed the skin up on my face given me a few wrinkles....

Apart from all those things it's not too bad :) ......Claire's caught me relaxed, not looking at the camera and with a smile....maybe she's a better photographer than me :)
I think she caught a lovely smile. I hate set up shots. This is a good one!

nice natural shot of you Phil! Happy New Year too (although that event seems ages ago!) I haven't managed to get myself into the swing of things since coming back from Ecuador yet...trying to ease myself into normal life again!!

Those aren't wrinkles -they are experience! It's full of character!
