Mini Me

  Sorting through Katy's papers tonight, I found this tiny photograph in a small brown envelope.  On the back, it says it is David L Donaldson outside the studio where we lived in Renfrew Street - near the Art School.

I guess I must be around two years old and this is one of the earliest pictures of me.  People didn't take very many photographs in those days (1945)

Later on, on Monday, I found the second photo.  It must have been taken about the same time, outside a different door of the studio.  Some light has got in to the film and bleached me out.  Remember that you had to be outside on a sunny day to take a photo then.  That is my mother, Katy, and she must have been 21 years old at the time.
