Spent the weekend at Mum's; my big brother had a milestone birthday Friday which we celebrated in typical low key fashion. We had a nice visit, and spent hours looking at Mum's collection of family photos.

I think that we should all go back to black and white film! So classy! And the cameras back then - well, I suppose it was the film, the negatives were about as big as the 3" x 3" images they created. Everything was so artsy! (I should hasten to add that, of course, these black and white pics were all before my time here on Earth.) Here are a couple of treasures I brought home with me.

My brother quipped that back then, people wore those sorts of eyeglasses with "no sense of irony". That's my grandmother, by the way.

I have no idea who the puzzled lady is. This is just your average tourist shot of a Bavarian castle - but look how cool it is, thanks to black and white!

Well. lucky for you that's all the time I have today to post pictures. I'll probably cull some more interesting shots in the next few days. You've been warned. A prize to whoever can name where the title of this entry originated.
