grandpa's camera.

a while back I discovered my Grandpa Art's camera sitting in the garage.

I remembered my mother telling me that we had it, but I had never gotten my hands on it...until now. 

there is something so very special about holding something like that.

something that your great grandfather used for decades, to take pictures of his kids.

and their kids.

oh, the feeling one gets when they sit and think of the history.

I got my hands on some film and have been taking some pictures. 

There is something really nerve wracking about not knowing what you take is going to end up looking like.

But it's pretty fun, too.

I can't wait to see the pictures from Easter. Eep! 

What's one of your favorite family heirlooms?
