Then & Now

Back in the day before the consumer version of the digital camera, we had the 35-mm SLR, for the high rollers, or a 110-mm Kodak Instamatic, for the rest of us, but people took pictures with photographic film. Sent it off in the mail or brought it to a local drug store to have it processed and got photo prints back. These old pictures are probably in a photo album stuck in the drawer of a hutch, stacked on a dusty book shelf, or worse yet... still in the mailer envelope. I know this, because all three are true for me.

Now we have the digital camera. What a marvel of technology these have become. No more worry about what film speed or type to use. But digital cameras are measured in mega pixels, so it's always something.

Here's a then (film) and now (digital) of Seany and Tim. Then, ages four and six...
Now, at eleven and thirteen,
with their Dad, Peter.

Oh yes... Here's the "young" couple in love, back in the early 90's


And here they are, so fashionable in the Twenty First Century...
with dryer sheets on their heads to keep away... something... mosquitos?
Yup, that's it... the mosquitos





Peter's hand had just been squashed in the printing press.
Bet that couldn't have happened back in the day, when he was a little more svelte.
