Fond Memories

Last week's Unravelling assignment was to photograph memories. I decided to rummage through old photographs of my mother and grandmother. After the photos were developed I realized I didn't do what was asked...I was supposed to photograph MY memories. But, I still liked the results and wanted to share. Plus, it was great to re-capture these photos with special items like my grandmother's necklaces and vintage gloves.

My favorite photos were the cute and playful pictures of my grandmother on a slide and my grandfather on a swing. I also love the white book filled with photos of my grandmother and a lock of her hair. She gave that book to my grandfather before he went to World War II. In the last photo my Mom is holding a picture of herself with my great grandmother...such a sweet moment. I had so much fun documenting these wonderful memories!

As far as photography...ohh I'm still learning. I feel like I have little control over the camera and settings, which results in blurry and dark photos. The learning curve can be fun because I never know what to find in the one hour envelope, but also frustrating when the photos don't come out! So, we'll see...I'll keep learning and experimenting.
