One Hundred

If she were still alive, my grandmother would be 100 years old today. She passed away in 2003, and I'll always miss her. Look at this beautiful photo of her at the age of 16!



Just wanted to share this sweet photo of my sweet grandmother!

Old Family Polaroids, Part I

While I was on my three-week road trip that I mentioned in my previous post, I spent some time looking through old family photos, some of which I had never seen. One of the exciting discoveries was a stash of old roll Polaroid photos that my granddad had taken in the 1950s! I had never seen them, and not only are they beautiful family treasures, but I loved seeing old roll Polaroids for the first time in person!

This is the beginning of a series I'll present, while I'm busy scanning a myriad of images from my trip.

These two are photos of my beloved maternal grandmother, Hazel, taken by Herbert Carpenter in 1956--I love the dramatic lighting and offset poses!




More to come!
