WHat a terrific sequence, RichardQ. Just like you (#3) - brand new lease on life :)


Thank you for your comments, Pat. I hope it's at least a 5-year lease! I doubt I would want a longer one, though,

How neat is that!... and also neat is the fact that your were strolling through Paris!

:thumbup: :thumbup:


Clicker, I was certainly surprised to see that shot, taken at the same location more than 60 years after I captured mine. Thos two little girls are probably cashing their French Social Security checks! I admit, I enjoyed strolling randomly through the Paris streets and casually snapping little scenes.

Unbelievable!! You own a real piece of history that is far beyod valuable. And the quality is beyond compare. Have you tried submitting a series of your images to a magazine? Try Black and White or LensWork if you haven't already.


Thanks for your gracious comments, Elizabeth. I haven't seen a copy of either of those magazines, but I'd hesitate to submit my poor quality prints for publication -- most of them were scanned from 2-1/4-inch contact prints.

Another unusual kind of Then-and-Now comparison, except that the "Now" was September, 1948 and the "Then" was 1939 or 1940. This stony villa -- Hitler's "Eagle's Nest" now known as the Kehlsteinhaus -- was a 50th birthday present in April 1939 for Adolph Hitler from the Nazi Party. Perched 6,000-ft. high on top of the Kehlstein Mountain, an Alp overlooking Berchtesgaden, Bavaria, the villa was the Nazi version of a bungalow. My Rolleiflex had a delayed-action timer, so my wife and I posed on the sun porch along one side of the building. I recently ran across a photo of Adolph Hitler sitting alone on a deck chair(!) on that very same sun porch, taken from almost the same angle. That door at the end of the collonade was reportedly to the room assigned to Eva Braun, Hitler's mistress and later his wife for a few hours before they both committed suicide in April, 1945. Today my shot can't be duplicated because the open collonade has been enclosed in windows. The Eagle's Nest is now a tourist site and includes a restaurant (reservations required).

My apologies to puzzled readers who are wondering where my photo is. A family member felt my late wife would not have approved a photo of her on an Internet forum, and insisted I ask Admin to delete it out of respect for her memory.

Loved it and was glad to see it, Richard! Sorry that there was unseen complications.
Love to see your works which show such talent and am so glad that you are able to share them! :lol:
