I like very
old photos. The people are long passed now, but the memories still remain. The people
and the photos are just shadows, they fade. The first photo was taken in 1903.
Granny was sixteen years old. Today she would be 134 years old! It was
necessary for my grandmother and her cousins to stand for a long time without
moving. Old cameras were a bit slow. I like new photos too. It's possible to
take photos very quickly with a cell-phone. There are four generations in
between Granny and the wee boy in the other photo. I am a link in a chain.
