Today is Mono Maniacs' Day! Aileni, my dear friend from Loose Ends, created this cool meme where the rules are: "original prints, but converted digital images, sepia and images that comprise black and one other colour only".
This weekend I brought my grandparents' memory back. While looking for a document, I found this photo taken in 1930, the year when they got married. I adore this shot, they look lovely here, and I can see the same smiles that warmed my heart when I was a child. Zaïra and Miguel were my mother's parents, both not with us anymore. What a cool, fun couple! Grandpa was extremely talkative (hhmm... that's where I got it from, besides the nose shape LOL), and used to fascinate me with his endless set of funny stories fom his young times, while grandma was the sweet, tiny old lady who used to take most of our family photos. Since they lived in Rio and we, in Petropolis, one hour and half from them, tThey used to spend long periods at our home that I enjoyed a lot. I miss them, but I feel honored for having their company for a long time, until growing up. Their love was priceless.
You'll find more Mono Maniacs on Aileni' side bar!

I adore old black & white photos like these of family, I have been fortunate enough to find quite a few of my family, even of relatives from before I was born. I have them on a bookshelf as a special family altar.
That's a wonderful picture. I'm glad you shared it with us! They look like a very happy couple. =)
