Mayflower Folk

I had a delightful dinner with Fran today, and as we worked on her book we talked alot about the generational gap and explored photography as pertains to that. It was so interesting! How much effort was put into pictures "back in the day"....where as today I'm content if I so much as have mascara on in the picture. And its not even because of a change in "standard" I don't think. I think it has more to do with that our accessibility, and it has desensitized us (as Fran puts it). I think it is most evident in her photos of her son, and its interesting to have a book of a life, in pictures, that pretty much charts the difference in photography over the decades.
