Summer afternoon in the family backyard at Pooraka, Adelaide, 1977. Two-year-old Mark Hamon sits on a red plastic ride-on toy while five-year-old Paul Hamon (front) and aunty Kerry Drogemuller (standing on the back) share a red tricycle. The tricycle had originally been in the Drogemuller household; Papa Allan Drogemuller (a painter) refinished it before it was passed down to Paul. Photograph by Howard Hamon. The restored version has been cleaned, colour-corrected and upscaled with generative AI while preserving the original expressions and sunny backyard setting.
