In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some
advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since.

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one," he told me,"just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."

He didn't say any more, but we've always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that.


F. Scott. Fitzgerald in The Great Gatsby

So my childhood photos remind me of these lines everytime I see them.

The great American dream and its promises.

Excellent period photos..........funny how candid snaps from years ago seem to have a different quality about them.
