I have a serious thing for vintage photos.... this is a favorite childhood photo of my dad....the background shadows are amazing,  as is his face in this pic. 

I absolutely adore the overalls he is wearing. I am sure they were probably handmade by my grandmother...but how cool are they. So 1950s... Now,  if  only I could find some like this for Little Row.

Tara I love it. When will the next one be up?

I would say he's standing in front of a sycamore. I remember seeing lots of sycamores on Staten Island. I think they must have been the main street tree.

My mother made many such photos of me. Her shadow in the background; a tree or a post appearing to come out of my heard; me squinting into the sun...Nice.
