“Feb 4, 1929 – Dad snapped Baby and me through dining room sun window. Not very good – sorry as now he has whooping cough? Weather’s been too bad to take him out to have pictures made…”

Baby’s First Photograph – Feb. 9, 1929
Mother may not have liked it, but I do. It’s got a kind of abstract impressionism effect, like a child’s uncertain memory. Your montage effects across the generation are fantastic! At first glance I thought they were double exposures. A great idea!
I like it too. And it seems especially appropriate because he died so young.
Even though it was many years ago, Howard’s death makes me feel sad. It is so difficult when children die.
Me too Sheryl.
At least he lived and was loved for a short while. Saddest of all, I think, is when they don’t even have a chance at all. The collages are very clever, indeed! 🙂
So sweet and sad. I did also like the collages of photos…and agree, had thought they were double exposures at first. But they fit with a short life, and memories.
I was looking through the photos and just decided to do it.
