Tom Hourston of Hozen, Dounby, 1916

There are one or two pictures of my Dad in his later years on this site. To be fair to his memory, I thought a shot of him in his prime would be good. (A 'shot' is all too appropriate - he was recuperating after surgery to a bullet-wound in his left shoulder when the pic was taken.) I isolated his head from a rather small group photo and tried to disguise the technical shortcomings with a bit of 'arty' manipulation. However, I think you can still see why I regret not inheriting his genes for looks.
