Grandfather and Granddaughter

I’ve been scanning old negatives. The window into the past is contact sheets, but if a negative is dreadfully under or overexposed, the image will not be visible. So I saw this composition once, in 1983 when I took the photo. Yesterday I saw it a second time. My father and his granddaughter. A good man. Letting the sleeping baby lie. Photo from Providence RI, the Hidden Street house.
This was the twins first foray north of the Mason Dixon line.

Fireman’s Parade, Orange Virginia

Fun studying old pictures. Old guys sitting way up on a wall. Cigarette smoking, white socks, general amity.

Not a cell phone in sight, people talking to each other.

Chuck Perdue

UVA would benefit from a building named for this man. A building with a circumferential front-porch, a bottomless coffee pot, a media lab and climate controlled storage for all Chuck’s projects.

I don’t remember Tina’s last name. She presided. Cooked, served food, ran the register.

Coffee and the grill.
