Photograph Call

(The three sisters.  I didn't get one of the four Ryall siblings.)

Some of us are back at home already; others are still traveling.  I will be updating the blog (I've got a bunch of topics to cover) but I'm aiming for one post a day for a while (if that much).

In the meantime, I need photos!  We had many cameras snapping, but I used mine mostly for those interviews (which will be forthcoming, I promise!).  Would you look through your photos and send me the best five.  Send photos of events (fireworks?) and people (candids or posed) and places (4020-7th? the gravesite? Other special places) or just plain good photos (I happen to know at least one great one of the moon on July 3rd). (And Lillie and I will have to figure out how to get me copies of the portraits she took.)

If you only have 4 to share, or have 7 - that's fine, too.

Also, I'm open to suggestions as to how to transmit the photos.  An email will only accept about 3MBs of attachments -- so you could send one email for each photo.  If you have a flickr account, I can download from there.

I can also set up a Dropbox (basically, a place in the etherweb where you secret your photos, and I come in later and pick them up, like a knothole in an ivy tree where lovers in cheap romances leave their billet doux). (Not that you might get any idea that I read cheap romances.)  But it would be easier (and less spam) to set up a Dropbox one-on-one (that is, not just a link from this blog, but through email with me) -- so let me know if you want that option.

Genealogy note

I don't have many digital photos of Kenosha, so I'll demonstrate photo capabilities with two of my grandparents.



Anyone know who is standing with Henrietta Ryall in the sailor dress?  When these photos were taken?
