Some of My Favorite Kodak Moments...or...photos by me

As long as I can remember, I have always had an immense interest in photography. That obsession seems to have first taken root while I was a very young child observing my mother taking family photos with her old black and white Brownie Camera. Although the whole idea enthralled me, my main interest definitely centered around getting photos "taken of me" instead of actually "taking photos." Insurmountable suspense seemed to precede the days that my five sisters and I attempted to wait patiently for the little gold Kodak envelope to come back through the mail, so we could see the many small black and white photos our mother had taken of us.

These are a few of my many "favorite photos"...some I took with very old inadequate cameras while the most recent were taken with my first SLR (many thanks to Crystallynn and Dean for the thoughtful gift!) Some may be good photos and others I just like...because...probably because most of them are of my family and loved ones. It's hard not to love photos of our loved ones!

Adam Steed Waterfall (first time he turned the water on.) So beautiful for a back yard! His artistic creations look like they are right out of the mountains and are truly magnificent!!

My Mom's Family

Just came across some old photos that were located in a large manila envelope my Grandfather, Earl Nelson, had given my Mother umpteen years ago. They are so darling and I want to scan them into the computer so everyone can enjoy too.

This first photo is a baby picture of my mother, Karma Anna Nelson Reamey, in her baby carriage. Although this old photo is taped and torn, it should be very obvious that she was well cared for.

This is a darling photo of my mother, Karma, in the snow with her buggy, cousin (can't remember his name) and adorable necklace.

I'm not sure if this is the same cousin - but he looks a little leery about having his photo taken;(one can only imagine what the cameras must have been like back in the early 1920s.)

...and the little bit leery cousin's younger sibling...or, better yet, this very likely may be my Aunt Bette.
