Distinguished Lineage. See story below

Distinguished Lineage…. The story; Imagine that you are a musician and Bach’s great, great grandson by happy good fortune came to your house to tune your piano . My photos of Jake Dore, computer repairman seated at my desk at our house. As a curious art historian, after Jake completed his repairs, I asked him if he happened to be related to Gustave Dore? Matter of factly, like a good, solid camera, he modestly replied, “ Yes, that was my great, great grandfather.” Then, on the left, on my computer, I Intentionally selected a photograph by the very first world renowned photographer Nadar of Jake’s Great great Grandfather Gustave Dore, who was equally a world renowned 19 th century , French printmaker.

Note the similarities between Jake and Gustave.
