Speaking of Full Moons, We Were, Weren't We?

Recently, during a cleaning seige, Man and I pulled a old suitcase out of one of the closets.  And, yes, that is a rope handle.

It was time to rediscover what goodies it was protecting.

Lots of wedding photos, portraits, photos with family significance, almost all of which I had previously scanned and linked to my database.  

Still, what fun we had looking at them all once more.

I frankly did not remember this photo, but, we know it was taken and processed in Man's parent's basement darkroom by his father.  We have no date, but, around 1960ish is close enough for us.  

And, since we just had the February "snow" full moon - - 

I'm not quite sure why all the black around the outside is strangely shaped.  But, when I think of the state of photography equipment in that era, plus his printing in his own darkroom, I'm soooo impressed.

We were speaking of full moons, weren't we??  Of course we were.

Wordy Wednesday, Blast From the Past Photo Negatives

Copyright 2011, CABS for Reflections From the Fence

Discovered during a scanning event, tucked into a photo book belonging to Man's cousin.

A closer view of those negatives:

No names, no dates, just 15 photos captured and stored away.  They will probably stay just this way until no one else cares enough to save them.  We are the caretakers now, Man's cousin had no children, there is no one else.
