Alan and Margie are my aunt and uncle. Alan is my mother's oldest brother. They are standing in my mother's living room, photographed on my visit to the UK last year. Alan, now retired, used to be a glider pilot, and took me up in a glider several times. I wanted to be a pilot when I was younger. Planes still have a certain fascination for me (though not the obsession I had as a child), and the quiet floating feeling of gliding is like nothing else.
Alan is also a keen photographer, and we talked about cameras and photography for a while when they visited. He came back the next day to give me a couple of Pentax lenses that he had used with his old film camera, which was very generous.
Taken on Kodak BW400 Professional. Pentax ME Super, 50mm 1.7.
