  1. My Mother and father. My dad was monster photographer, but gave up competing when he joined the Jehovah's Witnesses. Competition is frowned on . Here is getting a light reading and I think his older brother took this photo.

  4. Late 90s. Me & Mom inside the trunk of a huge old growth cedar tree, in Gold River.
    My parents & I took our first North Island nature adventures road trip to Gold River. I was able to show them the incredible natural beauty that surrounds the Nootka Sound area. I took them caving for their first time. The Gold River area on the island is very popular with local & international splelunkers because it has a fab network of caves.

  5. It's "World Photography Day". I went through some of my old pictures & created a few collages of the time I was in Greece with my mom and Dimi for around 6 weeks when I was about 15.

    They went over there in April when Dimi was about 9 months old. After school got out for the summer in May, me & my cousin Harriet, who was more like an aunt to me (my grandma's age) flew over & joined them.

  6. Thinking about my mom on her birthday. Always thinking about her but thoughts are even stronger on her actual date of birth. Remembering the many times of taking her out to dinner, the cards and presents given and the oceans of memories throughout my life with her. I've been missing her all of these years of not seeing her sweet smiling face.

    Here's a new college I created.

  7. A story about my hometown.

    I was born and raised in a city called Daejeon in Korea. There's a district called Yuseong, which is famous for its hot springs dating back to the Joseon Dynasty. The photo above shows what Yuseong Hot Springs looked like many years ago.

    Yuseong is quite large, and it wasn't originally part of Daejeon. In fact, Yuseong was once larger than Daejeon, before Daejeon began to grow around its railway station. As Daejeon expanded, Yuseong was eventually absorbed into the city in 1914.

    But that didn't change the popularity of Yuseong's hot springs. People from Daejeon often took buses all the way to Yuseong just to visit them, and getting there was quite a journey back then. The hot spring district may have been smaller than it is today, but it was already well known, partly because of a story that a king of the Joseon Dynasty was cured of a skin disease after bathing in its waters.

    Sadly, the hot spring district has been declining in recent years, and many businesses struggled to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, Yuseong Hot Springs remain an important part of the history of my hometown.

  13. My brother, about age 7, with his new puppy Queenie.

    There is no love as sacred as that of a child for their puppy, nor of a puppy for their child.

  14. This is an old #rppc #postcard that I bought at a shop in #Schenectady a couple of years back. Fascinated with it but never sure just what to do with it. It's a real photo postcard showing "Dick on Mohawk River at Schenectady in 1917 while working in G.E."

    General Electric's main plant was very close to the #MohawkRiver, and I can attest that even decades later, the river was subject to some mighty freezes.

  15. When I took this – or even ten years ago, for that matter – I could not have imagined that city newsstands would almost completely disappear someday. This is from November 1979, in downtown #SyracuseNY. His name was Pete Mussi, and he was a fixture there for decades. He's holding up the afternoon paper, because at the time a city the size of Syracuse could still support two newspapers.
