2009/365/26: Granny (1986)

    A photograph of my grandmother, Janet, I am guessing in 1986 when I was taking a black and white photography class at University of Delaware -- doing photos the old chemical way.

    This so captures her in my memory; always about to say something opinionated!

    I've published some audio from her stories told in 1994 cogdogblog.com/2009/07/14/grannys-stories/

      I have photos of my mom and dad from a b&w class back in the early 90s. I am so glad to have taken the time to take those photos. They are among my favorites. We used one of the photos for my father's memorial service a few years ago. Black and white captures portraits in a wonderful way. There's something special about taking the time to develop them by hand and work with the burning and dodging until you have something unique.

      I really miss her sometimes...

      BTW, I have that statue in my living room. Not sure how I ended up with it...
