Day 26 - Bastardizing Old Photos!
I love old photos and I’ve been collecting them for a while now. Sometimes I like to have some digital fun with them. 
Note obligatory party hat! These chicks need to loosen up a bit. Imagine wearing dresses with collars like that…
When I look at pictures like this one, I always think about my great-grandma, who was born into times like those, and died not too long ago (03).
All the changes she lived through, in every facet of life! From ice boxes to refrigerators. From washboards and clotheslines to automated washing machines and dryers. From wearing long, stiff full-length dresses to wearing nearly nothing if you feel like it! From telegrams and radio to digital everything. Changes in the workings of familial relationships…husbands and wives, parents and children.
I wonder how she coped with the changes, what changes she enjoyed and did not, and if she completely realized all the changes that happened in her near-century of life. What a time to be alive.
