The Value of a Photograph: Part I, 1935

In 1935, a policeman in Dothan, Alabama, recognized the value of a photograph when he took his 3 year old granddaughter in to see the local portrait photographer.

The policeman was my great-grandfather and the little girl in the photo is my mother.  This is one of our family's most treasured photographs.

I remember Mom said that her Dad was driving the car. They turned on a street downtown and were going very slowly but still moving. Her grandfather grabbed her out of the moving car and took her to the photo session!
