I came across this old photograph of one of my Chinese ancestors…

sepia photo

…and couldn’t help but notice his uncanny resemblance to RoundBoy. They’ve got the same eyes, the same smile…

Okay, okay, so I had a little fun with Photoshop today. Here’s the original photo:-

RoundBoy in costume

Photo taken at Royal Selangor Pewter Visitor Centre. They have an area, right next to the mini-museum, where children can don costumes like this and have their photo taken against a sepia background.

Hope your week is off to a great start, everyone!
