Island Life

[maheanuu]

This Photo was shot by my wife over 20 years ago and digitized by me and promptly archived and forgotten. I ran across it the other day and did a crop and a little level adjustment, noise level was high on the print and the scan didn't do anything to improve it. The photo is of 2 nephews the darker of the two is on the National Volleyball Team here in Tahiti, and the lighter one is making a career in the French Army. This was shot at a time where things were a lot slower and more kick back. Times that have past, but that will never be lost. This photo made the family's day today and so I thought that going back to simpler times might be just what the Dr. ordered for those of us who are sort of in the doldrums these days...

4. What a scene of happiness

great looking kids. Do you have more recent ones of them, or would they be too embarrassed?

5. I have and no they wouldn't be I don't think

Things are a lot different culturally here than where you live, a 19 year old kid takes time to talk and play with babies, toddlers, and all age kids... My oldes grandson will play with his 5 year old cousin (my other grandson)....

I have photos of Tehei on line and will pull one or 2 of him and I will go into the Archives for Maheanuu (my nephew)

Glad to do it and will post them both here
