"BUT THE PHOTO STORY" they tell about one family at a particular time of the year. Sometimes people , all of us, yes including me, get caught up with so called "magic moments" of what we might consider... GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS! When in reality with families, it's the "life aspects captured" of the family during their growing up! They are far more important just as we see here. 50 years from now your children and grand children will be able to see what "The Family" did a long longtime ago. "Jeesh and here's my great great grandpa! You know the one???? Yeah the one who they put behind bars for safe keeping!" ;-) We've talked about family photo albums and how important they are to keep up dated or we read stories about an unfortunate home burning and people are asked, "What did you grab when getting out of the house with you?" More often than not.... "I grabbed our photo albums etc etc etc" It's the importance of keeping records of our families as they grow-up and lives during that time. We have a few albums that we years ago diligently stuck 4X6 prints in, then life of work gets in the way and it slips by. How ever we have, not shoe boxes full of prints, but at least a dozen large boxes of processed film and contacts sheets, hundreds and hundreds of rolls shot during the past 60 years, talk about shoe boxes? These are about the size of a case of 24 bottles of beer boxes! :-) And yes over the years I probably had my fair share of the beer! ;-) You can hardly carry one at a time. :-) Yes one of these days I'll get them in albums! :-) So now we're at the beginning of a New Year we should all make a resolution to put our family pictures in albums and and burn CD's of the images for the future. Think about it, just as we produce a LUG Year book! Is that not a "photo album of this great big incredible family? " A suggestion for next year's book? With obviously Jim Shulman's reaction as the LUG book is his baby..... a number of pages at the back to have a series of LUGGITES some what along Steve Barbours wonderful collection of "whom we are?" A passing thought much like school year book!. cheers, ted
