"Attic Treasure" by Weezilou

"Attic Treasure"

I started looking through old files the other day and found an assortment of file images that had no particular category...much like things stored in the attic! On a day when I don't have any photo of worth, I decided to use this of my dad who was the family photographer. Clearly someone else picked up a camera as well! That's me with my back to the camera and *maybe* my cousin...but many didn't keep good records of who, when and where back then...

Given my age there and the bare feet, I'm guessing Spring of '46... My dad would have been 33.
Oh Louise! This is such a treasure! How fabulous that someone took this photo and you still have it!

@louannwarren Thanks, Lou Ann. I don't have a huge collection of family photos, but I truly treasure the ones I have, such as this!

Such a sweet capture! Lovely to have this of your dad taking your photo! How funny that you have your back to him - just like my family who won’t pose! A lovely find and one to treasure! Your dad looks great! Fav!

@ethelperry Thank you Ethel. My dad passed away 27 years later, so to have this means the world to me. It's when you come to realize that an exquisite, well-taken photo sometimes can't measure up to the likes of this!

@golftragic Not so much *my* youth, but in this case, my dad's...and that he was out family photographer.

How cool! Looks like Pops is using the ol' Roleiflex twin lens there. Happy that he passed along the magic of photography to his little girl. ;)
