Both of these photographs are Real Photo Post Cards. These post cards were very popular in the early 1900's and were very affordable. The RPPC was able to be taken outdoors and in home settings. Many people who could not afford formal photos were able to have portraits made with this process. During this time there were traveling photographers who went from town to town taking RPPC photographs. Many times they went to areas where the families had no access to photo studios. The FITS for today are from families that are doing well, but I also love the photos of children who did not have on their Sunday best and who lived in poorer families. I call them my Ragamuffins and they are no less loved than my "beautiful" photos. Here are a few of my favorites.
He is my favorite. His dress and face are filthy, but he is happy and playing. I just want to scoop him up in my arms and hug on him a little while.
This Momma looks so tired and worn to me. I bet she is still in her twenties. You can tell she is proud of her sweet children.
This little one hanging on to her Mother's finger looks confused about what is happening:)
This is my entry to Art Creations Friday from last week. Sorry I was late Ladies! I just got around to it today:)
We had to make something using this awesome background Wil created. I colored an image from my collection in Photoshop and then cut out and reassembled parts of the background from Wil to create an illustion of depth. I hope. LOL!!! That was my goal anyway:)

Thanks for the sweet children this week!!
I like the little ragamuffins! They are so endearing and sweet for just being their everyday selves. I am so sorry for all that your family is going through with your father-in-law. Nobody who has not been there can know what it's like. {{{{hugs}}}}
