For many years I had only one photograph of my paternal grandfather, whom I had never met. From this one photo, I had to discern who he was. In time, two more photos appeared. I think of how it is now with daily portraits rolling by on Facebook. I appreciate the faculties I have had to employ feeling for my grandfather’s soul that I wouldn’t have had to use had I had the hundreds of photos that we have these days.
(John Paul McDowell– March 15, 1884, Glasgow, Scotland)
