Old Times

When I have important homework to do, I am the expert at finding other, less pressing uses of my time. Like looking through old pictures, for example...


Anyways...last summer, I went through my Oma's black and white collection and scanned everything, because in my opinion, old photos are lovely, and I wanted to preserve them. (By the way, Oma=Dutch grandmother, if you didn't know. It's the same in German too...and probably other languages too.)

There are so many awesome pictures, but here is a sampling of what I have on my laptop right now. Some of the really good ones seem to be missing, so I'll have to go search them out...

The boy on the far left is my Opa...I love his face there! It's funny though--he looks so young in contrast with his friends. I'm pretty sure there wasn't that much of an age difference...


The woman second from the right is my Great Grandmother Johanna, my Opa's mother. This is one of my favourite pictures--vintage beach-wear at its best :)

The girl on the far right is my Oma. See any resemblance? Apart from the platinum blondness? :P
