October 1941

This is one of my favorite family pictures, taken by my Uncle Paul of my two brothers. They are sitting on the steps of a vacation cottage my parents had just bought. Two months later, the U.S. entered World War II. To my mother, this photo represented the calm before the storm.

I don't remember ever seeing Uncle Paul with a camera, so I suspect he gave up photography. A shame.
A lovely old image

Precious shot- I wonder if he'd given it up if he knew that some years down the road his niece would become an avid and gifted photographer.
