Sister Love

Sister Love
Another one of the many childhood photos I am restoring that came from my mother's album. This one is of my sister Bridget and me (on the left), dated July 28,1968. I was 11 years old and Bridget was 8. It was taken in one of those booths you find at amusement parks.

Nautilus, Team, Bergfex, .t.a.o.n. and 43 other people have particularly liked this photo

A lovely family album image Valerie, I'm a bit younger than Jeff I was 26 and 4 days. I don't think photos taken today will have the same value because of the vast amount taken. Don't just store them digitally, because there is the thought that technology could move on and reading stuff stored today could be difficult in the future, save them using high quality photo paper and ink. If you have any up to the age of 7 Marie-claire would like them in her group 'Baby Group' there are 3 of me that's all that exists

Valfal club has replied to Peter Castell club
Thank you so much, Peter! I agree with you, digital photos are a dime a dozen, it seems. I do plan to make these all into hard copies. I have done a few already, and I am quite please with the results!

I do have a few baby pictures that I could share with Marie-claire's group. I will have to dig them up and get them "ready for prime time" first. ;-)

What a lovely photo of you two. Not many pictures of my brother and I because there was almost 7 years between us and we rarely occupied the same area at the same time then !!!!!
5 years ago.
Valfal club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
Thank you so very much, Jenny! I'm sorry that you and your brother didn't have more photos taken of you together as children. I have many with my sister. We were quite poor growing up, as my mother raised us alone, but one of the few luxuries she indulged in was taking pictures of us every year on special holidays, our birthdays and on vacation. So, as you can imagine, I have a lot to go through, lol! :-)

Awww Val, this is so cute.

I do remember using those booths too. They were such fun!

Valfal club has replied to Karen's Place club
Thanks so much, Karen! I remember when the five and dime stores had them; they were everywhere! These days you don't hardly see them at all, but some of the beach towns that I live near have them. It's about the only place you see them these days!

Karen's Place club has replied to Valfal club
Wow, I'm really surprised they're even still around. That's great!

I love these old(ish) family photos. I was 26 and 221 days when this was taken. Tempus has definitely fugited. ;-)
My brother was 15 years older than I was, and I can only remember 1 photo of us taken together by a street photographer in London. I was about 12 or 13 at the time.

Valfal club has replied to Amelia club
Isn't it amazing how fast the time flies, especially once you become adult!

I'm sorry to hear you don't have more than one photo of your brother and you together, Amelia, but I guess it makes that one photo so much more special. :-)

Thank you so much, Rosalyn! They used to be in all the five and dime store downtown and at the beach towns everywhere. Now I hardly see them at all! I did find one in a beach town near me. :-)

Wow, that's so sweet and so dear!! What a wonderful picture to have, and how nice that you now have it on your computer and can see it always. Thank you for sharing, this is the sort of priceless treasure that means so much. :) I don't know if you saw this already, but I created a collage to honor my dad on his birthday some years ago. Each image has a rollover with information about it. It was a wonderful creative piece when I created it, and now that dad is gone, it means even more. The work you're doing is so awesome for your family! :)
