My Beautiful Grandma
|
|
|
|
I didn't know her as I was born many years after she'd died (on August 31, 1944 - during the Warsaw Uprising).
But her sister-in-law / my great-aunt used to tell me that I had inherited her chin and her stubbornness.

My biker family - photo taken 80 years ago by my Grandpa who was a biker and a hobbyist photographer. The second bike from the front was Polish Sokół (meaning Falcon) - coming from a brand of motorcycles manufactured in Poland before World War II for both civilian and military use. My Grandpa's bike was civilian, still had to be given away to the Polish Army in the summer 1939, when they mobilized people and gear for World War II.

My SuperMom in 1966
---
I didn't take this photo.
It is a scan of a print given to my Mom by a reporter in August 1966.
Unfortunately he didn't signed it for her, so I do not know his name.
The photo was used to illustrate an article on Polish pharmaceutical industry published in Express Wieczorny, very popular afternoon daily journal of the those days.
My Mom was the Chef Designer of many new productions lines for antibiotics, vaccines and other modern products of Polfa (Polish Pharmaceutical Companies).
This photo shows a snapshot of a designing process - with building blocks representing tanks, centrifuges, pumps and filters (and many other pieces of equipment that I'm not even trying to name now). That's how those things were done before CAD. Oh well... times have changed, right?
it was a happy day

The Town Hall of Zamość, built at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Zamość is a unique example of a Renaissance town in Central Europe, consistently designed and built in accordance with the Italian theories of the "ideal town," on the basis of a plan which was the result of perfect cooperation between the open-minded founder, Jan Zamoyski, and the outstanding architect, Bernardo Morando.

Her feline spirit went to the feline happy hunting grounds many years ago, but from time to time she visits our old flat and leaves there her shadow and smile.

OK, I know - it is overexposed and in poor condition (30 years made the negative almost unusable), but it is exactly how she looks when she checks upon us ;)

Certo Six + ORWO Color
I could have corrected the colors digitally,
but...
that's how poorly processed color negatives tend to look after 30+ years ;)
Oh, well... press [z], please! so it seems a bit sharper.

It is Mother's Day today in Poland.
This shot was taken 15 years ago.
I'll try to convince her to take another one today.
There is one problem:
because of COVID-19 restrictions she hasn't have her hair cut and done since February and she doesn't want to be remembered like that.
