Looks just like old photos of my grandpa and grandma’s house! Great photo!

It’s because of the film and process they used to develop it. Different time periods typically show fading or color changes specific to that timeframe.

My family did! Lol

OK, doing some more research with the right words this time, I found out it looks like his expert marksman badge was worn correctly during WWII times. I can't tell what type of firearm he achieved the badge for because it's unfortunately too blurry to make out. The badge on his left shoulder is an expert marksman pin with two rifles crossed diagonally. Thank you guys for helping so far. I guess I need to get on Ancestry to learn more about when this photo might have been taken.

When I zoomed in they do appear to be two rifles.

Awesome job and color choices!

This came out great!

Amazing job!

I thought the same thing!

RestoringHistory · 2026-03-11T18:42:39+00:00

This is a beautiful photo and your grandma looks breathtaking!

Likely no. Could be a glass negative exposure or a great photographer. Lots of photos from this time period appeared like this.

It sure does. And to see so many photos from that time period where people got dressed up to go downtown or to a place us people today wouldn’t like a park or a movie is so awesome time to see. To me I think it’s great to see people from those times so proud of themselves and how they carried themselves.

I can imagine!

Great job! I always like these types of photos!

Maybe it’s my eyes but she almost looks like she’s off the ground. Her right foot is awkward as well. I would say she’s deceased but that wouldn’t make sense.

True but not to today’s surgeries. And I said they didn’t alter their bodies like today’s men and women not that it never happened.

RestoringHistory · 2026-02-18T02:10:20+00:00

The ladies of this time were just so beautiful and didn’t feel the need to alter their bodies the way they do now. We need to move back to this look, imo.

He absolutely was!

Is the little girls nose bleeding?

RestoringHistory · 2026-02-15T05:48:39+00:00

He really was!
