Day 52

As you can imagine I have tons and tons of photographs, new ones, old ones, digital ones every kind imaginable. I love them, to see old pics of my family are great and to see the styles of the day it is a riot to look back. I have one of my Grandmother Boncaro when she was about 4 years old, it's and original photo and is 96 years old, it has a wrinkle in it but that makes it even better. There is also a photo of her parents when they were young, they both came to this country from Sicily and they are standing there stiff as boards but it's a great pic, also most likely 100 years old. I also have albums filled with photos from both my fathers youth and my mothers, I love to look at them and I don't even want to tell you how many photos I have taken of my sister, she is 9 years younger than I am so she was my model when I started taking photos. And my 2 nieces, forget it the photos of the two of them are filling up my hard drive on my computer as I speak. I will continue to photograph my family as much as they hate it but the future members of my family have to laugh at us just like we laugh at the past generations.
