This thread touches a sore spot with me. It points out the fact that neither I nor my parents and grandparents ever saw fit to photograph the work that went on around the place. Photographs were for special occasions, family gatherings when everybody had on their Sunday best and posed for group photos in front of the old Kodak box. How I wish I had taken shots of my dad plowing with his mule, or later when he got the 8N. What I'd give for shots inside the little dairy barn where we milked for 12 years, or the haying that Dad and I did all summer every summer for four years before I grew up and went away. There's not one photo of my granddad's old barn where I played and worked.
Wish I had taken photos of the syrup-making in my granddad's old mule-driven mill. Also wish I had photos of hog-killing time, pond-seinings, cotton picking, pea-shelling and corn shuckings that were social events as well as yearly chores. A lot of you younger fellas should be more like Larry on the Corner and diligently, conscientiously photograph your life with your family. You'll be on the wrong end of the hourglass before you know it and you'll cherish those looks back in time.
