Thank you for uploading such priceless pictures. I am particularly impressed with image of Botanical Garden in 1950s. Yes, I also have a picture taken there with my mother in 1954. My mother recently passed away. But I couldn't find the spot where the picture was taken. My mother told me that for a small price we had our picture taken there. The cameraman would develop it and more incredible it was home delieved the next day. I am wondering where you have more videos on the garden or you have any recollection of it?
Thank you for the wonderful views into he past.I saw some of the Postcards on History Channel which i only got round to watching today. How wonderful, that you had documented and kept so much of the past. I am from Singapore and was looking at the clips you had of Singapore. Warmest Regards, Belinda
You have an impressive collection of videos, in fact your family films are a priceless gem.
In truth, I am very grateful that you have so much love to share your jewels. Incidentally, I see that you are of Amesterdam, I was there in 2005 and your city is too beautiful =)
I admire you Michael, I hope you are well and I send lots of hugs from Sonora, Mexico ^_^ !!!
