The Way we Were ...












A couple of family photos from 50 and 100 years ago... note the family in 1907: when I came to really study this photo I could see how carefully the photographer had designed the composition of the figures.  It's a painting done by technology, a portrait.  Each figure plays its part, and note how the children are totally fed-up with posing!

Even the tea party in 1951 are trying to pose - some of them (the aunt with the tea-cup and the wonderful hat) - this was taken with a time-release and the photographer is also in the picture.
