How many times do you have to see a picture for it to click what it is?
I don’t recognize anyone in this picture, but in reviewing scans of images I made of my parents’ old negatives, I realized where this was taken: the den of my grandparents’ home.
I should have realized it sooner as it was in the same strip of images from my grandparents auction of farm and household goods in the 1980s. It might have been the angle at which it was taken and the fact that no one in the picture was someone I recognized. The unknown faces apparently made the location somewhat unfamiliar to me.
There are two paintings on the wall. The still life of fruit on the left was done by my Grandmother. The tree hanging under the window was done by me. I didn’t recognize it at first either.
Sometimes it takes several times to realize what a picture is of or when it was taken. Don’t be too quick to delete images you can’t remember or identify.
