My dad (front) in Vietnam in 1971. Didn’t know this photo existed until I came across it randomly on the internet. He cried when he saw it. Hope this is the right place to post it.

So I posted the old photo a short while back on here. Quite a few people wanted a recreation. Sis was up for it and went full commitment! The house is the same but the living room has been extended about 6 ft. OP delivered.😀.

EDIT: One or two people have mentioned how good the images quality is of the old pic. It was from a 35mm colour slide which I scanned in. We had a backlit carousel viewer back in those days.

EDIT 2: I sharpened the old one slightly and wished that I hadn't now as I'm getting spammed with people saying it's AI 🤣. I guess people aren't used to seeing what can be produced from a good quality 35mm bit of film. Here's the original 35mm in it's slide cover for ye of little faith (and yes I know it's mirrored, the way I posted it is correct). https://postimg.cc/KkzbL6CG

Here's another that didn't make the cut.

One more update: just to say thanks so much for all the kind comments. It’s been really heartwarming to read them all. I’ve had a couple of posts blow up over the years which can bring some prickly comments but this one has been by far had the nicest. X.

Big shout out to Callum my nephew for taking the shot. 👊🏻

When Albert Einstein met Charlie Chaplin in 1931, Einstein said, “What I admire most about your art is its universality. You do not say a word, and yet the world understands you." “It's true.” Replied Chaplin, "But your fame is even greater. The world admires you, when no one understands you."
