About Shades Of The Departed
I have been collecting photographs for over twenty years. This blog will discuss that collection, the types of categories I've developed for that collection, and the types of photographs I collect. I will also share with you what I've learned or am learning about scanning, creating a database, analyzing and dating my collection, and anything else that strikes my fancy related to photography and my collection.
About The Collector
I am fascinated by the clues left in the photographs I collect. Every picture is a miniature mystery and I love a mystery.
My grandfather was a photographer who traveled with the famous Burton Holmes. I am fortunate to have original photographs by both men.
When I was ten my grandfather gave me a camera as a birthday gift. It was evident that I did not inherit the "photographer gene." I have taken only one photograph in my entire life that I liked, but I know a good one when I see it.
I am a great appreciator.
Fortunately, I don't take myself too seriously. I know enough about collecting photographs to know I don't know everything, but I am learning.

Are you having an Out of Body Experience, or were you awarded the Order of the British Empire?
Perhaps you are merely Overtaken By Events. Which sounds strikingly similar to my life right now!
Give that woman a cigar!
I have been Overtaken By Events. A military term. Right now I feel like I could use an army.

Thank you both. I am almost finished. Just "life" getting in the way again.
Sorry about this.
