Higher Quality Memories

I kind of like te effect I get from taking cellphone snapshots of old photos I like. But I have to say, there's something to be said for this scanning business. Here's that photo of my great-grandfather again (click the picture to see it larger).He's all dressed up for World War I. Luckily the war ended soon after this photo was taken.

What amazing quasi-random images from the past. A military uniform looks almost as strange on Alfred Heininger as it would on Mahatma Ghandi.

Much to my surprise, here's a photograph of Ghandi in uniform as commander of a volunteer ambulance corps in the Boer
War

hey -

re your least post...there's an odd, black, feathery object in the background of one of grandpa's paintings from when he was at the school of fine arts in boston. could it be the mysterious parrot-like object in that picture?
