berryl Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Dear Sirs, I don't know if anyone has suggested this yet, if they have I'm sorry for the redundancy, but what about an old photo or antique photo forum. I was looking through some old photos my father {now deceased} took, and he had being a semi pro and avid photographer has to me some great shots. Now a lot of older photographers never had much of an oppertuninty to show their photos, and I thought it would be nice to do so. Especially for those who have now left us. I believe that even though they may be old photographs we could still learn from them. Now this raises another question I would like to ask. Is it acceptable to post photos from my fathers collection given permission from my mother and given the right credits or is this something not done. Again I am sorry if this came up before and I would not want to waste anyones time, however I would like to know. Sincerly Berryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johncrosley Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 You might look up, as a parallel reference a recent question, which I don't have a refernce for, on a member inquiring whether a forum could be started for restoring old photos to exhibit restoration work. There might be some sort of parallelism, though the photos you suggest posting might not be in need of work, though probably many would have scratches, dust spots, etc., and would be in need of restoration, and in the event such a forum were started, that might be one way to wedge in such photos. . . . Just a thought. John (Crosley) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico_digoliardi Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I am almost afraid to ask, but how old would an antique photo be? (cringing, awaiting an answer) Old Pico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berryl Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 I am almost afraid to ask, but how old would an antique photo be? Old Pico, I'm not sure if that how you want to be addressed, but thats a good point. I do not think that there has to be a certain age, just older photos from a different time so to speak. But maybe say pre 1960s could be a good start. What do you think> Berryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
