I invariably go for the obvious, but as anything to do with baseball and bats was out if the scenario, that just left backdrops!

As a woodworker, I've long been fascinated by the furniture used in old photos. Some seem impractical for ordinary households and look as if they were designed for different kinds of figure poses.

When our children were small we could take them for relatively inexpensive photo sessions at the local shopping centre, where the travelling photographers would pull down various screens to create changing backdrops for their shots.

My favorite is of your husband's grandparents and their three small daughters. They had their hands full!

The scene with the little unknown girl standing by the outside stairway looks the most real. Too bad the photographer who photographed the sailors didn't have some sort of sea scene backdrop. I'd give you an A+ on this post!!! :)La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.com
