I have been posting these amazing photos from my grandmother’s collection. I have been transcribing and writing about her diary for over a year but I only found the photos to go with all of those diary passages a couple of weeks ago. I am obsessed!
This will be more fun the more people I can get to participate!
Vote on your favorite vintage photos. In the comments, put the number of the picture and first, second, and third favorite! I’ll put the results up by the end of the week.
(I have been digitizing pictures from WWII and they are just mind blowing. I haven’t gotten anywhere near there in Babu’s journals and the pictures have such an advantage I thought I’d leave them out of the judging for now. I’ll share them soon, don’t worry!)

Just which ones I personally like: 1. – beautiful woman – is that Babu or her friend, Ernie? Sorry – joined this blog just lately. 6. – I like the way they can hold hands and nothing is thought of it – they are just holding hands. (I remember a time when you could walk along linking arms with your friend and no one thought anything of it – you were just friends linking arms.) 19. You just went to the beach, got into your swimsuit – and that was that! It all looks practical, rather than having to – be beautiful or have a ‘good’ figure.

You actually expect us to vote on all of these beautiful photos? I had to start writing numbers down and then my list got super long. This post made me really happy. Number 7, 9 and 28 are my choices, but I’d have chosen at least ten of them if possible. This project is a beautiful thing.
