Memory picture

These are my parents in the sixties with their car together in front of our home in Amsterdam. It was our first car, a Renault Dauphine with an open roof. I can't remember what they were doing, closing the roof, handing something? I made the picture from our window on the second floor of the apartment building we lived in. Parking was no problem at that time, only a few people had a car and you could put it everywhere without paying in the empty streets. 
My parents left me many photos and slides which we used to watch at a "slide-evening" with the curtains closed. We still have a projector but hardly use it anymore.

  1. A great old photo full of memories. Are you going to scan the slides? It is a job I have yet to do of the slides I took when I lived in New Guinea.

  2. Oh what a sweet memory for you. I have two trays of slides my father took when I was small. It's amazing how the quality is still so good while our photographs are so faded. I think you were a budding photographer at a young age. THis is a g reat shot.

  6. Virginia,
    You're right, the quality of slides is far more better with fresh colours then the faded colourphotos. Thanks for the compliment.

    Yes we have scanned a view, it works very well, but it is a lot of work. We have many of our own too!
