A little history

After reading the history of photography, all of the old family pictures suddenly became very interesting to me. It's amazing how far we have come in just a short amount of time. From silver nitrate to pixels! Isn't it incredible? I'm very happy that my family saw the importance of portraits, even though I'm sure they were very expensive and hard to come by in those times. I guess that's part of the reason I'm so interested in family portraiture. One hundred years from now, our children are going to look at our albums, maybe they won't be on paper or even a computer screen, but they will look at them and be appreciative. It's such a beautiful way to record our history. So I thought I would share a few of my family's old portraits.
