Description
My father (William E Loft) was a wonderful photographer. Unfortunately the majority of his work has been lost, destroyed or damaged. I have been working on a digital "rescue" of the photos I still have.
This photograph taken in Taguatinga (Federal District,Brazil) in 1963 required almost no editing at all but I did use a water color filter to soften it. The three on the couch were visiting relatives (my paternal grandparents and cousin) from Memphis, Tennessee.
Note: The watermark will not appear on the print you purchase.

Beautiful artwork. Particularly love the family photos. Do you have any on the maternal side - Helen or her sister Stella?
Homero Ribeiro
Sarah lhe conheci em 1964,quando voce foi aluna do segundo ano ginasial do colégio Cemab.Foi ótimo revê-la nesta fotografia.

Sarah (W.E.) -- terrific; a story without words. Sounds like your dad (and you) have/had an interesting life. l/f
W E Loft replied:
Thank you, Bill. Definitely an interesting life for the whole family. Dad died in Spain in 1989. On his death bed he was speculating about a possible move to Angola if he survived. He had already visited there to look it over.

Each hand tells a story.
W E Loft replied:
Ross, you are a very perceptive guy. I think I've seen this picture dozens of times or more (my Dad took it) but in a way, I've managed not to really see it. You're right. The hands are interesting.

I love these family images. Had a bald Great-grandfather whose parakeet would land on his head.
Bob Orsillo
Your father photography is outstanding There is so much personality in this photograph. V/F
W E Loft replied:
Thanks, Bob. I wish more of his work had been preserved. He took wonderful pictures in the Amazon in the 1950s which are mostly gone forever.
