Snapped Shot

Always Watching the All-Seeing Eye

 

Reflections Past...

This week, I purchased a Canon 4400F scanner for no reason other than to transfer some old slides to digital format.

I thought I'd share a few of my favorites (so far):

Why does the Goodfellas song "Rags to Riches" always pop-up in my head when I see this picture? I'm not in this one. I wasn't born yet. This is Mum, brother, and sister around 1965. That's Dad's Lincoln Continental in the background.

Mum and Dad, circa 1959. Dad was in the U.S. Air Force and Mum was in the Women's Royal Army Corp.


I'm risking my life posting this one. That's big sister in Mum's arms. She has estranged herself from the family and denies she was ever a baby. It's hard to see in this picture, but she has a little pink bow on her head. And check out that face! (inset)


This is a small school shop in England. I added it because I just think it's kind of cool! You can see what the shop looks like today by clicking here.


Last, but not least, moi. This was around mid to late '66.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*Very nice pictures, DM! It'll be interesting to see what other mysteries await in your slide collection! :-)
