'The picture' of Beau and Lamont
Beau and Lamont in Rockville circa 1996.
Neighbors continue to comment on how much they enjoy my collage on Beau's life, published here (scroll down): The life and times of Beau Belliveau.
Lynda Maslanka mentioned how cute she thought Beau's puppy picture was. Blaire Freed noted instead the rather amazing photo of Lamont and Beau, cropped above, that I took about 11 years ago in the backyard of my parents' former home in Twinbrook:
I still love that photo of Beau and Lamont on the grass, with the EXACT SAME FACIAL EXPRESSION! It's uncanny, and I wouldn't have believed it if it weren't a pre-Photoshop photograph. Beau is such a good-looking example of his breed, and Lamont is a handsome guy, so the picture is all-around terrific.
I replied:
Thank you so much.When I first saw the print, I thought not only are they both so vibrant, and with identical expressions, but also it was an honor to me as the woman behind the camera that they would "shine on," human and animal, for me !!!
