My Mum, through the ages, so to speak.

I am the baby, by the way.

See that necklace my Mum's wearing in the photo where she's holding me? I wear that now.

Spooky, innit!?

I know. I have to take some with my digital camera as well. Perhaps tonight...?

I love her necklace by the way. :)

And look at pic 3! "We're not in Kansas any more, Toto"

I'll be checking your blog tomorrow for your old photogrphs.H ow did you get that one of you and your Father?

Minge said...

Alan! That photograph of my Mother was taken when she was 15. I always thought she looked like Dorothy, too!

I don't have my Mother's hair. Sadly. It's still on her head.

Is your mum an actress then?

Look at the bottom pic then work your way up:

1. Bit part child actor in "The Railway Children"
2. Dorothy's "Wizard of Oz" stunt double
3. Olive from "On the Buses"
4. an extra in Eastenders

The pictures of me and my father were originals. I took a picture of the actual photo with my digital camera. Then, I downloaded it from the digital, to my computer, opened photoshop and cropped and zoomed in on it a bit. Presto. Old photograph.

The quality isn't the greatest but sadly, that's the only way I know how to display old pictures on my page.

Me, too. I used exactly the same system. I'd buy a scanner, but it's just not worth it.
