In the meantime, here are some of my father’s photos for your enjoyment—more images from his camp in Athens, VT where he lived during the winter of 1939-1940. These images are noteworthy because they include the first images of my mother; also, on a “technical” level, some of these images are printed on 4 x 6 photo paper, the only photos in the album reproduced at that size.
Hope you enjoy them!

Wilderness
Tired or just lazy??
I'm not sure why, but vintage snow pictures are just magical! Loved these, John.
ReplyDeleteIs he standing in that last pic? Wow, that is some DEEP snow!!
Hi Willow: I think that's my mom in the last pic--& she's sitting down--tho snow can get that high in that part of Vermont! Glad you enjoyed these pix!
ReplyDeleteThere is something about the photo entitled "wilderness" which just grabs your attention. He was quite a photographer your father.
ReplyDeleteHi Alan:
ReplyDeleteI completely with you on the shot "Wilderness"--I think that's a remarkable photo. Thanks!
Love those shots of your mother.
ReplyDeleteHi Jacqueline: Yes, she looks very happy in those photos!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed--'speically liked seeing your mom looking so stylish in her ski wear. I agree, the "wilderness" shot is great--well exposed and composed. And in digital reproduction, you can still tell it has that texture you get only in film. Long live Kodak! (and Fuju Neopan, my personal favorite)
ReplyDeleteHi Lana: Yes, mom did look pretty stylish in those shots, especially the first one. & that's a good point about the textures, especially in the "Wilderness" shot! Thanks.
