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.

I was wondering what the subject would be for this issue! Very interesting to me, since here in New Hampshire things are gearing up for the next presidential primary. The whole world saw the gaffe one of the first candidates made last week when she confused "Our Concord" with another famous Concord. I saw a great display at the NH Historical Society Museum of old primary photos, and you would have loved it, fM. Do you remember Clinton as the "Come Back Kid" or Lamar Alexander with his red plaid shirts? When Ed Muskie cried and then no one voted for him? How times have changed!
Wow, what a fantastic way to share history. And you do this for free? What a lot of work you have put into this very nicely laid out magazine. I just signed up for Internet Genealogy Magazine via email and I wish now it would come in this format. Wow! That would be awesome. Thanks for sharing! (sorry lots of Wows - but I am truly wowed!)
Another wonderful edition of Shades of the Departed. Thank you, thank you! I have to admit I feel a twinge of jealousy for those so fortunate to have a large photo archive of their ancestors. I certainly do treasure my small cache of images.
Cheers,
Jennifer
Congratulations to the Publisher on another splendid issue. It's an honor to be on your team.

I've been traveling the last few days, so what a joy to come home to the latest issue of Shades! I know I say this every issue, but it is true--it just keeps getting better!
