Really neat, Jim. Great shot of your wife. What a lovely lady. Your post
makes me wish I had kept more family artifacts when everyone scattered.

Thanks for looking, Chris. Some days, I choose to reflect rather than
go out and search for new images.

In 1980, I was shooting with a Polaroid SX-70. This is an edited scan,
showing my late wife and our first grandchild. He is now a doctor with a
successful practice in Internal Medicine, and has four children of his own.

Among the family history keepsakes that my wife had was a studio photo
of her great-grandparents and their family, typical of the studio work of
the early 1900s. Her grandfather is the young man second from the right as
you view the photo. There are some stains from the years that show if one
looks too closely. I did not attempt to remove them.
Her grandfather went on to build his own trailer incorporating a Direct
Positive studio, which he and his wife used at fairs and celebrations to
provide income during the 1930s. His younger brother, in front, organized
a crew that toured the West offering to convert family pictures into
curved-glass covered portraits. Though most such crews were honest, there
were some dissatisfied customers, resulting in signs telling portrait
salesmen that they were unwelcome and might be shot.
The young girl in front lived to be 101.
