   There is something special about old photos. I experience this when researching my grandfather. When I get old photos, it's like an 8 year old getting an electric train for Christmas ;-)

   @steamtug1959 I have to agree Ralph! I do not have access to more than a few old photos on my mother side of the family and none from my late father. I have been fortunate to have been invited to look at old photo collections from elderly friends. Some of those photos are shared here. I love your enthusiasm for the photographic treasures with their history to reveal!!

   @steamtug1959 I will just add that I was lucky enough to have been researching a country park and colliery village as part of my work. Local people brought me some real treasures from the 1920's. It was Christmas come early for me too!! :-)

   Love the experimental magic you work with these old photos, and love the old car. Great work!

   @paulmgarger Thank you so much! The old car is fab and it seemed right to use an ancient technique of these very old photos :-)
