My Roots


This is the first photo- gallery I have posted on PBase.
It was December 2003.

Someone had created an account for me already in 2002.
At that time PBase was totally free, but I had used it only to exchange some family snapshots with distant friends, without posting anything publicly.
Therefore this display of old photos of my great-grandparents, grandparents and parents marked rightly the beginning of my experiences on PBase.

Many things have changed since then and my photographic skills have maybe evolved a little too.
I have deleted most of my old photos, which had composed my first galleries as well, but I have kept all this series dedicated to my family origins.
Every now and then, when my mother finds an old photo forgotten in the bottom of a cardboard box or a drawer and gives it to me, I might add it.

We are all made of our past.

Your family galleries are special. The older B&W and Sepia photographs are a real representation of family history. And your mother is extraordinarily beautiful and vibrant. A model for all of us to emulate as each decade passes. Excellent and moving work. -v-

Wonderful images and mementos of your forebears and dear to your heart. You've inspired me to do same, minus the artistic touch you possess. Your galleries are an eye opener Marisa, they are so pleasing, so gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, love your 'roots galleries'! You have some wonderful photos here, especially the one of your mom in 1925 is so cute. I've started scanning some old photos too, although at the moment most of them are mine. But you've inspired me to continue my collection :)
