My cousin Caro has created a kind of archive of family photos on Flickr. One of my favorite photos has always been this one, of my maternal grandmother Annette (second from left) with her sisters Aline, Helen and Susie. I once had a plan to get it blown up and printed on canvas as I thought it would be good karma to live under the watchful gaze of all these matriarchs. I still think it's a good plan. I'll have to get on it when I get home. If anyone can recommend a good repro place in Vancity, let me know. For some reason my Flickr/blog software is cutting off part of poor Auntie Susie, but the picture in its entirety is just really lovely.
