My only concern is I would like to give credit, for the photos, where credit is due.

I have photos taken by Ernie Brake hanging on my walls and one of Burin looks very much like some of the shots on You Tube. In the interest of honest disclosure, Ernie is my first cousin and we are frequent visitors to relatives on the Burin Peninsula. Of course, anyone could have taken these photos. Let's hope that this creates a situation where the actual photographer identifies his work. I love watching the slide show and the memories it provokes.

Yes, I agree. It is important to know who took the photos. By the way, I repair computers, and I have seen the same collection on dozens of hard drives, but never a reference to who might have takent them. Let us hope the real Burin Photographer will stand up. I say, Execellent job, who ever it is.

The name Burin is from French for a seaman's tool that was used on board old vessels to create and maintain the ropes and mooring lines. These pictures are not new as there are some buildings shown which no longer exist. May be the photos of Ernest Brake, the son of a Marystown native who immigrated to the US.

I didn't know that!!! Many thanks for that info. And yours is the very first mention of who might have taken the photos. If that is the case, Earnest Brake deserves much credit and praise. Thanks again.

No, none that I know of. The Community of Burin is more than 150 years old, but I have no idea where the name came from. Might be from some Italian explorer, who knows???

so pretty.

I don't see why we should be concerned about Who took the photos.....the song is just as important and we all know Eddie Coffey is singing this song and it is his song, so getting permission seems to be no ones concern. It should not matter because the more people see the pictures and hear this song will hopefully like it enough to want to buy them.
