Shirley Foro photo albums, Volume One
My grandmother died in October 2006, less than week shy of my son’s first birthday. There was a mad rush to clean out her apartment on Phinney Ridge in Seattle, where she had lived for somewhere around 20 years. Selfishly and practicably, I grabbed her photo albums, some of which were simple blue cloth-covered three-ring binders, the kind I used in middle school. I’ve meant to scan what I got ever since; here’s the first. I don’t think I got the settings the way I would have wanted.
