I just assumed it was because of the photograph that he looked that way. I see that he almost looks ghostlike. Hmmmm. Now I wonder if there <i>was</i> a problem. I'll have to ask my aunt if she knows. She wasn't born when this photo was taken but she may know who the children are and would have known him when he was a little older.

I hope technology doesn't move faster than I can keep up with it. Otherwise my great-grandchildren (if I ever have any) will have to find some dinosaur of a computer/computer program to look at the photos. On the other hand, paper photos are so easily damaged (water, heat, etc.) and lost or torn. <br /><br />I still find it amazing that we can turn old paper photographs into digital images, then be put on the internet, and be seen by the world. It's a wondrous age we live in. <br /><br />Thinking about whether we can cherish digital images, though. I think I cherish some of my old photos more because I can make digital copies, enlarge them, and see great details that I would have otherwise missed. I think your descendants will cherish your digital images. Yes, I do.<br /><br />You've given me thought about whether I should be making more paper photos, though.

For us it was either the front stairs of the house, in front of the fireplace, or in the fall in front of this amazing maple tree that turned a blazing red colour. In your photo it could be a pretty apple tree in blossom.
