It alway makes me wonder...

...where the people I have photographed over the years are now. What are they doing; what happened to them; what do they look like? Case in point is this very cute child photographed in 1971 at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The amazing property of photography is that it can freeze a moment in time. Because of the technology, photos do not age in look any more. This picture could have been taken last spring because it's overall appearance does not show its age. This is due in part by Kodachrome's ability to keep its colors and with a good scan and proper digitizing, the image will keep as long as it's not lost. Negatives and slides can also be lost. This aspect of photography always amazes me. It is quite uncanny, to sat the least.
