My Grandfather

[Stan]

Way back when photographs were precious, someone took a picture of my grandfather, infront of what is now my house. He was born in 1901, he's wearing the hat. Anyway i found a few glass negs and some slides. Here is a neg 4 1/4 X 31/4 inch glass plate. I transferred them onto Cd at between 18 and 40 mb each now all I need is to clean them up. As I go through them I will add them to Smugmug, but here is the first the original is 3. something meg if you want to play with healing and clone brushes :rofl

Here is the photo scan

Thanks Ginger

I know this story, my Grandfather and his brothers bought a canoe in Cambridge and paddled it home. There is no way you could do that now, the water is not there for a boat like this
