# 56 Black and White Photos!

A Little Time with Old Albums and a 1950's Viewmaster!
​

Obviously there were no digital options in the fifties, so that makes these old black and whites, more precious.  When groups gathered to smile for a camera, there was usually just one click. And when you finally used up a roll of film and had it developed, you were surprised to find photos taken over a year's time.  The photos were then put in shoeboxes or albums, using those dandy black triangles!  And sadly, the photos were often blurry and un-cropped.  But I enjoyed every minute as I looked over the torn pages of these old family albums.  There are memories connected to some old photos, but mostly the images invite you to imagine the stories!

The old Viewmaster was a hoot!  But I can only look at 3-D pics of the White House and Capital for so long.  Give me a photo album with people any day!
