I can't help it, I can't do a wordless post! This is one of my favorite photographs:
This photograph is of me (at age 1) with my great-grandfather, Henry Austin Carringer (age 91 at the time) in October 1944 at my first birthday party. This is probably at my grandparents home at 2130 Fern Street in San Diego.
I used a screen capture to get this image from a paused 8 mm. home movie that my grandfather took in 1944, then cropped it. The home movie is a lot clearer but it is difficult to pause it on just the best frame.
This is the only time I have seen Austin Carringer with a smile on his face. In all of the photographs I have of him, he does not smile. I love this photograph, and I'm so glad that I could brighten his life a bit with my baby antics. My great-grandmother, Della (Smith) Carringer died in January 1944, so I don't have a color photo or home movie of her.
