Recuperating Photographer

I've finally hobbled out to my studio and have decided I can work on some sit-down projects - like sorting photos. That took a couple of hours with my foot in a drawer and now my back got a little torqued, so I'm on the computer in a comfy chair.

As I'm looking at all the photos which were taken any where from the 1940s all the way thru today, it's interesting to see the progress: black and whites with old scotch tape still stuck in some of the corners and with bends still in them that wil have to be scanned in and touched up; moving on to kodachrome 3x3s, 4x6s, enlargements; and color polaroids. The edges have gone thru some changes too, from the fancy wiggly edges of the 50s with white borders all around, to straight white borders to now where there are no borders. Of course my favorite part is just seeing the natural aging process of our families. How we thought we looked ugly or fat or whatever, and we look at them now in our "surreal" years and think, DAMN, I looked pretty hot! Or, cowabunga, Mama's looking great in her Marilyn Monroe look-alike dress! And then of course, I did find some photos worth scanning and sending them to family with captions like, "Oh, look you had hair!", or "Lyle Lovett's got nothing on you bud!", and "Was that a bus that parted your hairdo?" I sure crack myself up! ; )

Come back after I add some old stuff!
