Photos of Photos (from My Mother's Collection)

This photo was in my mother's collection--it is of me and my two brothers--but I swear I had never seen it before.

I must have been about four years old when it was taken, but I have no recollection of that either.

This photo of my uncle somewhere in Germany, I do remember. He must have sent it to my grandmother sometime in the early 70s when he was in the army and stationed there, and I remember seeing it in the dresser drawer she kept photos in.

I had never seen my this photo of my grandmother either. It must have been a school photo--?--or a photo booth photo. My aunt pointed out the holes in the seam of the sweater here--a sign of neglect or the sign of a worn out favorite article of clothing?

This is a photo of a photo of my great grandfather, whom I never met.
