sixties golden dress

Last weekend, I was visiting my parents and we went through old photo albums from my moms childhood and youth. My grandfather was a photographer so there are a lot of photos of my mom. So below is my mom Anne getting ready for New Year. I'm not sure exactly which year, but it's sometime in the late sixties.

I recently posted a few old photos of my dad (the boy and the rabbit). Here are a few more wonderful vintage photos of my photogenic dad ;)

The boy and the rabbit

Here are some photos of a handsome man. These are real vintage photos and actually the "model" is my dad. My dad said he found the rabbit trapped on potatoe field (?). He then kept it for the summer and when the rabbit was grown he set the rabbit free in the forest.The photographer of these pics is my aunts husband Martti Niskanen. If I recall this right my dad is 17 in these photos. 

1954

Here is a photo of my grandparents in the summer of 1954. My grandparents were both entrepreneurs. Grandmother made lamp shades and she also had a shop where she sold children's clothing. My grandfather was a photographer and he had his own studio. He was also talented in drawing and painting, but he was so critical with his own work that he threw most of his artwork away. 

Anyway, I wanted to post this photo because I think it's really beautiful and honors my grandparents who have both passed away.
