    This photo is like looking at a person from the past – it has a glowing warmth -
    an excellent still life composition – just like a painting – is this the first camera ever?
    the one that Louis Deguerre invented? – it has been passed down to you as a family heirloom – do you know the story behind it? – I’d love to know.

  • Ingz replied

    I’m not sure, but I don’t think it is that old…I’ll try and find out. Thank you dear Penny xxxx

    I still have some of the pictures… well, my kids have them now in scrapbooks. They are just the clearest and best images. Of course I got mine when I was eight years old. My mom had just gotten it. I asked if I could take some pictures. She told me if I could take some without cutting off the heads, it was mine… thinking of course, I was eight, wouldn’t happen. When the prints came back, mine were perfect. I got the camera. Silly woman never did that stunt again. :o)

  • Ingz replied

    what a lovely story Bunny…..which means your were a natural born photographer my friend. Do you still have the camera? Thank you so much for your lovely comment. xxxx
