Smile Photographic Oldies : A contribution Thread for those with a fancy.

Its been a long time since I was on WPF. Yesterday I bumped into Peter ( postcardcv ) and we chatted about what I have been up to, and thought it maybe time to post a little on what I have been doing.

Following the death of my mother I have inherited a major job of digitizing her photo albums - lots of them, for distribution among the family. I don't not have a scanner so I am photographing them, but thats the easy bit as many of the pictures are in a pretty poor condition and sometimes I only manage to restore one a day. So it will be a while before I take standard pics to put in the gallery.

Ignoring the family connections in such photographs there are some things worth sharing with others hence the " contribution " bit in the thread title for those that would like to share any old pics they have.
The most obvious one is thing with these oldies is the step back in time. A glimps into a world long gone, fashions, locations before modern develpoments etc. With really old images there is added interest as these images are also step back in time in the development of photography itself.
