Those are amazing photos. I have yet to try my hand out black & white or sepia photos but when I do, I hope they come out as good as yours. Your pictures definitely put me in your world.
Odd how people think that we have come a long way from using these simple thigs, and yet...we used to make music at home, every village had enough musicians to get up a local dance and without loudspeakers our brains wern't blasted out of our heads. There were fewer things, so fewer things to take care of. We did not have heaps of clothes, so the wash was done once a week in the wash-house where, although it was hard work, it was peaceful and you could hear the birds sing. The ailments were simpler too without so much cancer due to asbestos, radiation and chemicals. Are we so much better off nowadays?
