For ages my neighbour-cum-friend Wayne had been hassling me about paying a visit to his city-centre photography studio to work out why "the downstairs computer can't see the upstairs one". Because it involved wireless connections, which are always way more hassle than they ought to be, I had been putting it off with a "Yeah, I'll try and find time to pop in at some point".

Then a couple of weeks ago I offered to come in and sort it out on the proviso that we get a free photo session with the kids while I work on the connection.

Here's a rogues gallery selection of the results, starting with the whole Howlett clan (including Quinn, who's an honourary Howlett).
