A few weeks ago I discovered several black and white photographs from both my grandparents working in one of their many greenhouses. These images probably date from the 1960s or 1970s. I assume they were used for an article in Belgium’s most popular newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws as I found the newspaper’s name on the back of these prints, however without any credentials or a date. I contacted one of the photo editors lately but so far they haven’t found anything yet. When I was documenting the life of my grandmother, I accidently recreated some of these situations in 2008 and 2011, not aware of the existence of the black and white images. My grandmother passed away on January 5, 2012.
Didn’t my grandfather look somewhat like Robert Redford and Brad Pitt? Yes, he did 
August 3, 2008: My grandmother was actually dressed up to visit my parents, she never worked with these kind of clothes. I was photographing inside the greenhouse as she suddenly grabbed some scissors and started to remove some bad grapes.

Inderdaad: onze grootvader lijkt inderdaad goed op Robert Redford en Brad Pitt, maar ook onze vader lijkt er als 2 druppels water op.
tof Serge mooie aanvulling op je reeks!
