Time Machine

When I pick up a magazine the first thing I religiously do is flip through the pages and look at the pictures. Seriously, who doesn't? Photography is a fine art that tells a story and holds a secrete. I personally on many occasions find myself lost within a photograph wonderin
g what life was like at that very moment... One simple photograph can show emotion, tell a tale of an era and hold a memory forever. This is what first attracted me to photography; simply getting lost in it.
I think we are all in the same boat when I say I am excited for the year to come. It's great to be in the same working atmospheres of others whom share my same interest. Honestly if I have to pin point all the things I want to learn this year, you folks would be here all day. I have a real fetish for glamourous retro- style pictures. I think it would be pretty nifty to learn the skill to create an image like the ones I see in my mind.

One person, whom if I got the chance to go back in time and meet would be my Grandmother. She passed on while my father was quite young, all I know about her, is what I've seen in pictures. I have these boxes filled with photographs of her, her sister, friends and family. Some of the photos date back to the 1930's and go to the late 1960's. They were all taken by past relatives. I have been told of 'what a fabulous woman she was', and if I got my ticket back in time she would be my first stop.
I have included a few original pictures from when she was young, this picture dates back to 1944.
