Do you have a family member who seems to be the one person who is always behind the camera?
Growing up, that person was my grandmother. She had an 8mm camera and filmed almost every family event. Later, we would have a family ‘movie’ night to watch the new movies and re-watch the older ones.
Well, my grandmother died over twenty years ago and the 8mm camera is ‘ancient’ technology. However, my brother has taken over the position as ‘family photographer’.
Not only does he set up the camera to capture our family group pictures but he captures ordinary moments. One of my favorite pictures is one he took during our family weekend at the lake of his wife and their grandchildren.
Even though, I never saw the camera, my brother and his wife captured moving my mother from Emporia to Kansas City – in the snow.
