“Happy Birthday Denny Jr.” | Grandma’s Stories

Jan 21st “Happy Birthday Denny Jr.”

January 24th is coming up and little Denny Jr., will soon be 76. Sure wish that there was a way to fix old pictures – this one is at least 76 years old and I am older and I just do not know – how to fix -up all the old stuff – so that it would look glamorous? There are ways to do all this fixing up of our old bodies and even our old stuff – but I have not found the way to do it and then – the eyes do not want to help out with staying focused on old stuff fix-up information – when there are so many more important things to do!

I was looking for one of the pictures – that are somewhere of Denny Jr., in the baby bed – – just for and older picture and a very young – almost new born baby? The idea was old and new all in the same photo.

This photo was taken in the backyard of our Aunt Irene Riley – on Ashland Avenue at this time The idea of taking photos with a “BOX CAMERA” – way back then – the game of taking photos was so new to most people – and I’ll bet not many people took the time to read the instructions of how to focus – and how to place people so that the “BRIGHT SUN” was not making more light than you needed – and it sure would help if you were not aiming the camera into the strong light and the people in the picture – well what can you say – second guessing – you will end up p paying for lots of pictures that just will not turn out – not as you were expecting – and then – the developing of the film – just not a good match???

(Click on the photo – the larger size – helps to see little Denny’s face better! Denny has the best shade of red hair – it’s terrific!)
