Then and Now by edpartridge

Then and Now

My Mum and Dad ...

The top photo was taken in the late 50's when Mum and Dad got engaged. My paternal Grandparents were missionairies in India so hadn't met their prospective daughter-in-law, so Mum and Dad had the picture taken and sent to them.

Little did the fresh-faced teenage and just-out-their-teens couple know that over 50 years later their youngest would be armed with a digital camera (Was 'digital' even a word in the 50's?!) telling them to "enthuse for the camera ...." before plastering them all over the internet.
love this--what a great idea :)

Thanks all - I was reliably informed last night that the 2010 picture took a lot longer to setup than the 1950's one did!
