No, I'm not from a family of monkeys, but my daughter wanted some old sapshots. The Disney movie Aladdin came out in 1992 and my daughter fell in love with Abu the monkey. We bought a wonderful likeness of Abu that we used as a doll and puppet. For Halloween 1993, my daughter dress as Abu for 3rd grade 'Trick or Treat'-ing.
Now her boss has a little girl who loves Abu, so my daughter asked for some old pictures. After rummaging in the closet for a couple of hours, I found these... (not the first 3, the rest) http://picasaweb.google.com/rf.sullivan/Abu (digital copies shot from old prints - some contrast build-up) It was a trip down memory lane when my family was young and I took many pictures of them. Thoughts after the rummaging... 1. Prints are lots easier to view than slides. My closet has thousands of both, but 75% are slides. These are now harder to view and share. I'll have to get scanning... :-( 2. Some of my best shots are really pretty good. It's a nice to compare to the posts here. (I'd love to do a 'How To' picture book for parents some day.) 3. Never underestimate the ability of photos to refresh your memories after 25 or 30 years. Lynn and I re-lived a lot of our experiences as I shared old prints. We look forward to becoming grandparents some day. :-) 4. Take lots of photos. The family will grow up quickly. You'll have the best time of your life!
