photo(4) And THIS IS why I have always LOVED the art of photography.  The ability to look back generations upon generations and to get a peek into a totally different era.  I was recently surprised with a box of fabulous historical photographs of my family, this being just one of them.  This beautiful picture allows me to look at my very own Grandfather when he was a young boy:)  These are precious to me....small intimate pieces of a family web....images that I trust will forever be in our family. Even today with my own photography business I work hard at creating imagery that will be something my clients are proud of and something they desire as a family heirloom.  With so many pictures being taken on so many different devices each and every day....remember to set those very special ones aside....PRINT them and PROTECT them:)
