This picture is so precious, glad you have it and glad your grandmother wrote something about it. That was what they did then, write at the back of the picture.<br /><br />Stories of our ancestors are really fascinating. Like my children, their roots are Irish, English, German, Indonesian, Chinese, Indian. I think I am going to blog about this:)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02399300464457820101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3643654861670171975.post-13027795497337028832011-04-11T12:48:22.275-04:002011-04-11T12:48:22.275-04:00Very interesting.

Some of the symbols remind me of the Masonic Lodge... I remember, before I became a believer in our Lord and Savior, I was a member of the Elks Lodge whose membership dressed in "symbolic" clothing.

As far as the photo- the photographer was dealing with a very slow shutter speed, low light, and a completely different method of processing photos from today. People were told to get comfortable and don't move for over an hour at times. In old wedding photos a neck brace was provided to keep them still. I see some of the people starting to lean- Oy! I love the new digital cameras they're so fast! The other interesting thing to me is the costumes. They must have represented a role in the lodge drill team.

I think photography was still somewhat of a unique thing before then and people didn't really know how to act when their pic was being taken. Funny though---nowadays I think there is entirely too MUCH smiling going on in photos.
