Intriguing Family Portrait

Joy and Floyd posed in the livingroom at 70 St Germain Ave., San Francisco, California, (link to satellite view from Google Maps - see note below), in the summer following their 1st Wedding. Joy is newly pregnant with Nate. She is wearing her wedding dress and he is wearing new threads acquired for her brother, Paul's, wedding.

The couple just above Floyd's left shoulder is Mr. and Mrs. Francis Washburn, parents of Julia Washburn. Julia and her husband Louis Augustus "Gus" Perry with their son Harold between them are between Joy and Floyd's heads. Harold (Floyd's father) is shown in his high school graduation photo at Joy's left, with Lourenna Caton, his bride-to-be, in the small photo just above. Joy is shown with her little brother, Paul, and their parents, Richard and Murial Thistle above the Wasburns near Floyd's left ear. At top left center is the bottom half of some sort of "family art" and at the top right center we see Joy as she will appear 32 years later at her and Floyd's 2nd Wedding flanked by their sons Nate and his beloved, Kathia, on the right and Ben and his wife, Mary (who may have just concieved KapukiPerryThistle) on the left.

Heh, neat Pops!

I think you need to get out your blur tool though. The recent picture from your second wedding stands out quite a bit!
