My photography interests went from old to new…   A neighbor asked me to digitize some slides from 1945. Her dad in medical corp stationed in recently liberated Germany. An avid photographer with newly available color film, he took these rare pix of Nazi jet fighter planes still in the testing stage 75 years ago.   Then I digitized some of my family pix. The automobile photo is 102 years ago, my mom being the infant.  The formal family pix shows complete 3 generations of my moms family [ mom on left ]

I use this photo often to explain family relationships to the younger family.  I wonder what imagery will be available 100 years from now that documents the past...
