Feeling the passing of time

I was looking at some old photos and found a picture of my dad taken a few months before he died. What struck me though was now I'm the same age he was in the picture. It's left me feeling really quite odd. In the photo he looked really old, he wasn't, he was only 56. He just dressed old fashioned, and I'm just thinking is that me now, old?

I too have pictures of my dad at the Pyramids when he was in Egypt during WW2. I also have a box with letters he wrote to mum during that time but I just can’t bear to read them now.

Wouldn't it be amazing if they actually knew one another!

PinkCosmos, I did just that a while ago, got rid of all the photos of 'just scenery'.
Recently I've started following a Facebook page dedicated to publishing early/old photos of my old home town. I now wish I'd kept some of the scenery ones as they give an insight into how an area looked at the time.

Some of the old pictures of scenery are a reminder of how beautiful some areas were before the builders and developers got their hands on them. On the whole most places were cleaner and nicer which doesn’t say much for the town planners and architects of today. They seem to be fixated on boxes.

Vivian Maier, born in New York in 1926 . Her photographs are known throughout now but she never shared or published any in her lifetime. A whole lifetime of images .
