And now for something completely different . . .

This is a picture of my Dad (in the middle), a neighbo[u]r Helen, and my grandmother in front of a combine in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan in 1916. I have not taken the time to restore the picture in Photoshop (have to learn how--I am very much an amateur with PS), but it is an interesting piece of history. Blogger problems with uploading larger replacement, so I put in another entry with the larger pic. Posted by Picasa

Thats nearly a century old! Great shot. I like the drawing-like effect. What kind of camera was used to take it? Is there any way you can post a larger version of the picture?
