OPINION: 'I found the combination of family memories and the way life was at the time the photos were taken to be quite intriguing,' writes Tucsonan Robert Nordmeyer.
The entrance hallway into our home is lined with multiple framed photographs. We called it our hall of frames. There are historic photos dating back as far as 1910 and the most recent in 2021. In between is a collection of family adventures and gatherings.
People are also reading… For example, one family photograph was taken in a studio — one of those posed family settings. Our kids were quite young and I found myself thinking that that was way before there was such a thing as a cell phone. It was way before people would be walking with their heads bent down all the time bumping into objects or people. Our kids would converse with us at the dinner table and not be glued to a cell phone.
Further down the wall there were various small photographs of the family when our kids were of school age engaged in all kinds of activities. It was during a time when there were no active shooter drills at schools or mass killings to worry about. Laptops didn’t exist and our kids used encyclopedias for their references.
One family grouping was taken New Years Day 2000, the turn of the century and millennium. I can remember the great joy and celebration that event brought along with the many hopes and dreams for a brighter and better future. Our bright eyes in the photo echoed that hope, as did the whole world that harbored a swelling feeling of optimism.
