I thought I would look and see what other OLD pictures I could find and put up a few of them to see what you think of them.
I think it’s FUN to look at OLD pictures. I actually have a picture of my mother’s great grandfather, who would be the great, great, great, great, great grandfather to my great grandchildren, of which I have FOUR.
Kaley, my great granddaughter, and I are going to put together an album of these pictures that I have found. I am going to make copies of all of them and then we are going to put them in an album with names.
This is a picture of my father, who was born in 1907. He was about 4 years old maybe, so this is a very OLD picture.

No, he doesn't look too pleased. He was the youngest of TEN children. I think he was a bit spoiled. LOL

@JudyEv @IreneVincent Now I come to think of it, that's true. It was a serious thing having your photo taken.

Your father looks cute despite the sulky pout going on there. These photos are so precious.

@IreneVincent Today everyone is almost nonchalant around cameras, in those days it was seen as an oddity.

@pgiblett That's true. He may not have even known what was happening. Because he would have to wait to see the picture after it was developed, and I have no idea what that involved back then.

Yes, it was a LONG time ago, more than 100 years ago. I'm so thankful to have this photograph.

Yes, you should put the picture up in a post. There are some here from the B site but there are also many who were not on that site. I'm going to look for a few more and put them up from time to time.

Oh that's VERY true, especially if the boy had curls. And then that first haircut always involved saving a few curls.

@Auntylou I saved curls from my sons' first haircuts. I still have them.
