  1. LOVE this! That you have such an extraordinary collection of snapshots is due to the snapshooters. I'm glad they turned the camera on one another.

  2. Wonderful! I especially love the sort of ethereal one with the clouds in the background. A very interesting shot.

  3. You obviously had some serious photographers in your family. That photo on the upper right is simply magical.

  5. Not just a fine collection of photographers, but a fine collection of cameras as well. Pictures of photographers are always rare animals (which is why, I suspect, I like taking photographs).

  6. The couple at the top left are obviously posing for another photographer out of shot.
    I remember seeing a camera like that in the snapped photographers hand.
    How cameras have changed.

  8. OH MY!! my uncle had a camera just like the one in the upper left picture. to think i got rid of it... but i was pressed for time and had to clear out his apartment... if only i had had more time. photography is in your vein, obviously, as they loved it, and you keep up the passion, one way or the other. i hope you get to preserve them as they deserve.
