Description
I lost my beloved grandmother before my interest in photography really developed, so I did not have the chance to take many photographs of her. I have a few photos of her from when I first started using my grandfather's old Pentax to take family photos, but those negatives have been sadly heat damaged. I do have this one treasured 1940's early color photograph of my grandmother, however, that I treasure. I have used it in photographs and as a model for achieving color in digital photographs many times before. This is a portion of that photograph and could be called as seen through time or as seen through time-zero. Here are the colors of the 1940's transmuted by the technology of the 1970's. I wish I had been able to photograph her with my SX-70 or with any other cameras, really.Companion piece to through a glass darkly

Somehow I almost cried, it's all very emotional.
But I like this, it's a beautiful photograph with very interesting colours and a well-chosen title.

It is rare for a photograph to make my eyes well with tears. This is one of them. It reminds me so much of my own family, staring at me through time. Thank you.

even though the camera may not have existed in that time -- through your words -- through the imagination -- you are able to capture moments with your grandmother -- forever close to the heart -- later days

The beauty of the old times never fades away. You've made this Time-Zero film precious, really.

All you say about her is summarized in her face. She looks so much like my Gramma. It's so beautiful that she is remembered so warmly.

I had a grandmothers and great grandmother who were the same way, just a great bunch of broads and I mean that in the highest of compliments which I'm sure mine will understand.

yes, and my grandmother wanted most of all for her afterlife to be remembered, which she surely is! she was the matriarch that held together our extended family, but she also had the driest humor and wit! we are lucky!
