Schelly,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great link to "Photo Detective Blog." For those of us fortunate to own old photographs of our family, it is a great help to figure out their significance beyond the names of those contained in them.

Hi, Janice
ReplyDeleteMaureen Taylor is a true genius in pointing out photo clues. Prior to seeing her books and learning about her, I thought a picture was a picture. Now, I look at a sleeve style, a hat or the landscape.
I have a few old family photos from Mogilev, Belarus that need an expert's eye, and I plan to send one in to her for her comments.
