I received my 1st Kodak Baby Brownie camera when I was 10 years old, and then spent years watching as my father developed his own black and white film and made prints in his photo lab in our home. I still have his old Kodak oil burning Ruby lantern that he used when working with his photos (passed on to one of my Grand-kids). I can still smell the chemicals, and I still have great respect for my paper cutter when I use it. Great memories. I am sharing my Dad's old photos, since he was a very skilled photographer.

I am also adding some vintage family photos from both sides of my family.

Grew up in Southern California and now living in Northern California
