I take most of my "on the go" pictures with my old beat up cell phone, a 2009-era Blackberry Curve.<br /><br />As for Steven D's dating of the photo to the mid to late 1950s, I agree.

I think the older photo was a Starr Bryden photo, at least that's what the album said that I found it in. He died in 1959, so it was probably taken in the mid to late 50s.<br /><br />It is cool that the trees are still there. Great job, Joe! I sure do love this site.Steven D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09304515496696337235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185899036941198756.post-91674476263322878992011-03-01T16:40:53.842-06:002011-03-01T16:40:53.842-06:00Joe, what brand of camera do you own?
