Vintage Family Pictures...

The other day I visited my Grandmother and she had the sudden urge to go through all the family photos. I was lucky enough to pick up a few to scan onto the computer for myself.

 I never thought she had any of my beloved Great Grandfather, but sure enough she did! I couldn't help but ask to take it home for just a day so that I could repair it on photoshop. I just thought I should share a vintage picture of my Great Grandfather Manuel Zelada...my Abuelito Meme! This picture was taken for his soccer team in Guatemala. The picture dates back to before 1920. My Great Grandfather is the handsome one all the way to the right.

The second one is of my Mom (left), my uncle Edgar (2nd), my Grandmother Victoria (3rd), and my Uncle Manuel (last). The little girl is my cousin...I don't remember her name right now.
 This picture was taken in Guatemala in the mid 60s. My Mom was a hairstylist and makeup artist and had just opened her own salon at the time of this picture.

It's amazing to look at old pictures and know that you have a connection with the picture.
