In the early 70's, probably 1971, when I was in high school and just as I was myself becoming interested in photography, I found in the cellar of his house my grandfather's old bellows camera and a box of developed glass plates. My grandmother said I could have them, so I have had them in my possession ever since. I had already started to develop and print photographs at home, so I was able to print a few of my grandfather's plates as soon as we got home from North Dakota that year. But it wasn't until recently that I had them all printed, and now digitized for storage and display on the Web.
