Todays topic is ‘Black and White’.
So I dug around in the family archives and came up with this photo of my mother in law, Signa. Now sadly no longer with us, we had a really close relationship and I miss her still.
One thing that struck me when I was looking through the old black and white photos was how elegant people looked. Now, was that the era – late 1960’s, when people dressed in a very different way, or was it the medium itself? Black and white with shades of grey means for me that the subject of the photo really stands out, with no eye-confusing colours to compete for my attention.

the photographers had to put more effort to find that standing out thing, plus – the photographs weren’t just snapped left and right, everywhere and anytime, so when a person knew she/he will be taken photo of, would prepare 😉
lovely photo btw 🙂

Thanks Emilia. My father in law would have been chuffed to hear that people liked the photo. After he retired from his job he set up a small business videoing weddings, he had a good eye for a shot.

Lovely lady, and lovely photo.
All I remember from the late 60s was my cool white go-go boots. I really thought I was somethin’!

That photo just defines an era. I look at old pictures of my mum in the 60s and she was always so well poised and so elegant, like the picture of your mother-in-law.
