Ours bent around to the first landing till it reached the second floor and dusting those rails was my chore too. I wondered about the photo, must have been some sort of occaision to pose and gather. Your mom and aunts are similar in facial structure, but even their dress shows them distinctive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093078029028920810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-60029081772024221002011-01-31T01:40:54.658-05:002011-01-31T01:40:54.658-05:00Oh yes the black and white looks so vibrant, and i...Oh yes the black and white looks so vibrant, and isn't fun looking back at family....and happy times...and your Dad is surrounded by women!...and still he smiles!

But between the four of them, I'm not sure I would have pegged them as sisters. My mother is one of four "girls" and we have pics that look much like yours, but my mom and her sisters look very much alike.Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024443046207501650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-13212026270630770772011-01-30T10:35:41.398-05:002011-01-30T10:35:41.398-05:00Another vote for the black and white.

Interesting that the B&W looks more modern than the faded colour in contrast to the usual rule that monochrome always dates a scene.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-10679438424332885792011-01-30T01:42:01.120-05:002011-01-30T01:42:01.120-05:00Great photo, and fascinating to see the difference...Great photo, and fascinating to see the difference with color vx. black and white. The B&W is so much more crisp, but I agree it is good to see the red lipstick, and to know the color of the clothes. I think I shall scan and convert some of my old yellowed color pics and see what happens.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10114884092474969555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-40837070963553042092011-01-29T20:21:35.638-05:002011-01-29T20:21:35.638-05:00I love the memories you shared that were prompted ...I love the memories you shared that were prompted by the glimpses of the surroundings in your interesting photograph. It makes me think wistfully of my own childhood home. I wish I had more pictures of it, and of the ordinary things in it. Those things can bring back as many memories as do the people. Maybe, that's why I really enjoy taking photos of the objects around me.Nana Johttp://ananasjourney.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-81772622412291821482011-01-29T20:14:54.595-05:002011-01-29T20:14:54.595-05:00First thing I thought was "Hey, two of them a...First thing I thought was "Hey, two of them aren't wearing glasses. What gives?" If nothing else, the glasses make them look like a family.<br /><br />It's so sad when photos loose their original color. I just bought an album last week that is filled with photos from the 1950s that have all turned an ugly pink. A travel album a woman put together and all the photos look exactly the same. I didn't buy it for the photos but for the ephemera stuck inside of old brochures.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-80756369849897690632011-01-29T19:07:30.830-05:002011-01-29T19:07:30.830-05:00I would never have thought to convert a color phot...I would never have thought to convert a color photo like that to black and white, but it really does look better.
