Probably the oldest photo I have record of, sadly only a duplicate of the original image. Nevertheless fortunate to have this. I do not have much information about this photograph, other than knowing that the subject is my great-great grandmother on an island in Greece, possibly Chios. I know that she lived a very long life, I believe it was approximately 107 years. What little information I have, I recall from a conversation with my grandmother on one or two occasions. Obviously I do not have a date but I find this to be an amazing image and certainly an inspiration.

    My first cameras were an 8mm Keystone and a great big box containing  a tiny Kodak Brownie "Holiday Flash" and all the equipment necessary for lighting and film development. I recall jumping for joy when I viewed my first self-processed image including fingerprints, dust marks, and faded grey edges! The joy of my chemical darkroom work had begun!
    Many years later I borrowed a 1 megapixel Sony floppy disk camera and gradually learned about digital photography and the many possibilities it offers.
    Here within this site I will attempt to share what I have created and what I can still remember about both methods along with many related and even unrelated stories.
