Once again, I am helping my father go through the mountains of memories, keepsakes, and just plain disposable stuff in his house. Last night, we found some old family photos. I think they're from my Mom's side.
The first one is a wedding(from the 20's or 30's?). I thought the photo had a dreamy quality, taken from above the wedding. I studied it for a long time before putting it down. I kept thinking to myself how weird it is that weddings have not changed through the years. The clothes might look different, but the ritual stays the same. My only wish is to know who these relatives were, and where they got married. The photo was with some others taken of a visit to Puerto Rico. Maybe the wedding was there. My family is not from there, but maybe someone lived there. Who knows..
The one above has writing on the back: "Miss Ednah H*. Vega Baja, P.R.
I wondered why someone wrote this, when clearly this was a landscape picture. Then I looked closer...
Here's a piece of the picture blown up. How cool is that?* Ednah had a last name, but it's a family name so I didn't include it.
As I cropped different pieces of the picture, I found more people. Not only was there another person on the other end of the bridge,
But there were people on the bridge.
