I read somewhere recently that people looked so serious in those early photos because to take the photo a long exposure time was needed so they had to hold still, and keep the same facial expression, for ages - and it was easier not to hold a smile.<br /><br />Cool picture Sally - I wish I had more old family stuff.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257653410136495378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21985601.post-75995014052637978292010-01-18T15:42:21.689+00:002010-01-18T15:42:21.689+00:00Your Gran is lovely.

I love looking closely at the clothing and fabrics in these old pictures.<br /><br />(btw, my first Sepia Sat. post was the Saturday previous)<br /><br />Barbara, I feel that - I want to know who they were! <br /><br />Mouse, the technology is great isn't it? they mostly scan in so well<br /><br />It is fun Betsy.<br />And Giulia - she was very pretty - I've some lovely pictures of her, she was obviously much photographed.<br /><br />Aren't they, ArtSparker? I think they kind of make the photo actually.<br /><br />you too Megan? I remember sleeping in essentially a dorm, and telling scary stories. Oh, and getting lost on my way to the loo in the middle of the night. This was 1920's, but I don't know more exactly. I'd guess early 1920's, from comparing my gran with other photos, she looks quite young here.<br /><br />Martin, hello! yes, definately I wonder! We had a Big Grandad - this one here - and a Little Grandad (in my previous Sepia Saturday post) - and this was to do with physical size. <br /><br />Thanks Alan - yes, I think we do. And to remember their stories while they are still known.lettucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872380339261609060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21985601.post-34689277381258223092010-01-17T10:57:32.651+00:002010-01-17T10:57:32.651+00:00First of all welcome to Sepia Saturday and thank y...First of all welcome to Sepia Saturday and thank you so much for joining in.

Ever wondered what snippets of conversation may have been heard just before and after the snap was taken?<br /><br />My daughter always referred to my grandfather as her 'Big Grandad' too. I think it was because she couldn't quite understand the term great grandad at the time. Anyway, it stuck.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494219959077922220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21985601.post-82689959002542675922010-01-17T05:15:45.418+00:002010-01-17T05:15:45.418+00:00Yes, most if not all of our holidays were spent wi...Yes, most if not all of our holidays were spent with other families. Rent a big old house at the beach or in the mountains and pile in. <br /><br />It worked well - the kids had other kids to play with which cut down on sibling violence and the adults could take turns with things like cooking, laundry, etc.<br /><br />What year was this photo taken, do you know?

Willow Beach, a bit north of Toronto was the destination. I must see if I can find some of those.<br /><br />Your family group here looks a jovial sort—especially the fellow at the front right in the light suit.Kat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.com
