Old cameras and their historical fascination

[Richard S. (rich815)]

I was fortunate enough to end up with almost 1400 of my grandfather's negatives. They have all now been digitized and cataloged.

And, since I now have the ability to PRINT said negatives........

My dad is the one in the middle.


I ended up choosing 10 negatives, and made an album for my dad and his 4 siblings.

My grandfather would be in the top left image, in what is the only photo taken at their wedding.

That is so wonderful!!

... (That a 1911 picture of my mom in the carriage on the left.)
My grandfather is the dapper guy in the bowler.
And I'm so glad he had the foresight to make these gifts, and that I had to wisdom to hold onto them.

The word is overused, but to me that photo is awesome. It truly captures a wonderful moment in time. I even like the glimpses of the structures and open spaces in the background.

That's quite a gift; you are fortunate.

A very nice, mature, looking group. All these photos are great.
