1955
My parents were notoriously bad photographers. My dad bought a Brownie box camera with a large push-button on one side. After viewing the scene, he would push down on the button and turn the camera at the same time. As a result, many of the people in the photos look they are standing on the side of a hill. The photo of my mother, sister Betty and me was taken in front of our grandparents' house in Bellflower. It may have been Easter. [JAM 6/3/2020]
