Aunt Kitty Meets Annie Hall

My great aunt Kitty deep sea fishing during the twenties. Great outfit that reminded me of Annie Hall. My aunt lived a fabulous life in NewYork, Saratoga Springs and Fort Lauderdale.

Fragments: Trudy Clare

This is a found person, the photo came from a flea market, it was marked from a Minnesota photographer. Trudy Clare is a nod to my mother's sister Gertie.  The cutwork in her hair really works well.
