Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.
It's my brother's birthday! So I decided to celebrate by posting this black and white study that our father took of him. This was at our father's house in Mary Esther, Florida, but I don't know what year (maybe Mark will know). Since it's in black and white, Daddy may have developed it himself, although I don't remember him having a dark room at this house.
He did not have a dark room at the house that I remember, either.
ReplyDeleteThen my question is where he had the photo developed. So few places do black and white work anymore.
DeleteMight he have uploaded it to Shutterfly or one of the other such services? I've had them develop better versions of old black and white photos I have in my possession from half a century to a century or more past.
DeleteHappy birthday to your brother. That's a great pic. (I'm the one who put up the comment about Shutterfly, in answer to your comment. I hit "send" before I realized I hadn't put in my identifying info. Sorry.)
DeleteIt's certainly possible, if Shutterfly does black and white. I didn't know that they did.
DeleteThank you all the way around, Karen! My father really liked working in black and white.
