how my gran won a photofriday

I shot it a few years ago with a borrowed Jessops flash, top-mounted (this was before the days of reading Strobist!), bounced off the wall behind me, then converted to B&W in Photoshop. I was just firing test shots off and missed a whole bunch of her pulling funny faces, but this is still a lovely shot of her so thank you to everyone that nominated! :)
