Little Boy Shows Off | Waiting for the Train
Little Boy Shows Off | Waiting for the Train “Wonder if she’ll be in on time?” was the caption in Aunt Pauline’s photo book. For some reason, trains were referred to as feminine in those days. We must have been waiting to pick someone up who was arriving on the train. For the whole story with all images, see Little Boy Shows Off | a 7 Image Story.

Little Boy Shows Off | a 7 Image Story
Little Boy Shows Off | a 7 Image Story Thanksgiving provides us a reminder to say thank you. This Thanksgiving I’m thanking Aunt Pauline. Aunt Pauline was my mother’s sister. This image shows her and I in grandma’s backyard.
Aunt Pauline made a photo book for me; mostly with images she had taken. The photos were taken when I was quite young; from 1 year to 6 years old. Recently, I found the old photo book. Old images can sometimes tell a tale long forgotten. Although color film was available, her photographs were all black and white. She most likely used a simple camera like a Kodak Brownie. Yet, the photos have not deteriorated much over the years. After scanning, they required very little restoration.
These seven photos stood out from many others as telling the most consistent story while showing the quality of her photos. They were taken in my grandmother’s backyard and the local train station. We must have been picking someone up who was arriving on the train. Aunt Pauline will always cast a shadow in my life. Thank you Aunt Pauline.
Each image will be posted individually this week under category Little Boy Shows Off.
