Yes, I'm housebound and just a tiny bit stir crazy. I will be leaving the abode sometime on Thursday.....yay. In the meantime I go through photos. Why not? It's more enjoyable than cleaning the house. I have no idea who these two are but they were in with the hundreds of others. Why did children always look stern? They are a distant relative of some sort. It's really too bad no one thought to put names and dates on the photos, but then either did I when I was actually using film.
Fast forward decades........
This is a photo of Matthew, upper left, with the neighborhood buds. He was early teens. He is all paternal family in looks and build. He did somehow end up with black hair in his early twenties, which would be my lineage. Always a serious expression.
We are in a too warm spell.

I'm in California, where we have large bins of pictures and scrap books. I should probably take some time to take pictures of the pictures (not having a scanner - although maybe my phone can do it) My time for this trip is running short...but maybe!
That's beach weather. We may get into the forties.
I think exposure time for those early photos was long enough that you had to keep a straight face to get a good image. Also kids who might have no idea what that big thing pointed at was, may have been a bit apprehensive!
Matt is a handsome guy.
