    This is a picture of my two brothers and myself. I'm guessing I was around 7yrs. old. 1958?

    Sure why not? Their culture is based on avoiding technology, not keeping the women down.

    Wasn't a technology thing, it was a danger thing. He thought the streets of Pittsburgh were too dangerous for his kids to be riding bikes on. If he could see us now......

    I was just thinking that! It's downright ~~~creepy~~~!

    Maybe an assistant is behind the chair, helping to keep the baby propped up and squeezing his though to make him laugh?

    Yup. Since I was kid no.1, I was a frequently photographed baby for lst 18 months of life. The youngest in the family is bummed out and jealous, she only has a photo of her at 12 months. Not any earlier. Parents probably too busy and tired.

    In ways I can't quite articulate, looking at old photos of parents when they were young with unlined faces, makes me abit sad.

    Maybe this thread will inspire more members to post who haven't posted yet. It is a fun thread, mimi.
