Photography fascinates me. Not just the artsy, the perfect, the wonderful. I love snapshots, family photographs, accidental button clicks.
I think vacation photography is very special When you start to think of all the people who have posed in the same spot as you. Taking the same tacky tourist photos as you are taking that very moment. Capturing a memory of something you witnessed. Saying, ‘hey, I was there’.
Well recently my father scanned a whole slew of pictures my grandmother had collected over the years. There is no information about what the pictures contains but we can guess.
The following picture was taken at Hopewell Cape in New Brunswick. I’m not sure when. I think it was pre-Miriam for sure. I’m not even sure who is in the picture.
How do I know it was taken at Hopewell Cape? I took this picture when I visited the place in 2008.
And guess who’s family posed under the same flowerpot formation?
I wonder if my dad was in that family snapshot and if he was, I wonder if he remembers that he had posed under that same arch probably 30 years earlier.

That’s funny. I love looking at old photos. Hairstyles and clothes were so funny.
If I didn’t think that my relatives would stop reading I would post tons of pictures from that CD. Some are just so funny.
Same here, our families have a crazy amount of pics from the 70s. We ought to start a website for posting pics like that
I was just so happy that my dad scanned all the pictures, and burned and sent a CD to everyone who was related to my grandmother. It was such a great idea so no one fights over the pictures that she did have.
I had a friend who had her picture taken with a gaint tortoise at the zoo when she was little. 20 years later, she was back in the area and took another picture with the same tortoise!
I think that is so cool. I should go through my parents pictures and try to recreate some now on purpose.
