family heritage and history
I am progressively digitising three generations of historical photos and studies, taken of and by, my father, his parents, and their parents - the Kidd, Shanhun, and Wilson families and historical Diamond Creek. Also several generations of family snaps taken by my mother's aunts and uncles, the Middletons and Conders.
We also continue to make our own history. The wedding photos in Margaret and Stefan's wedding albums were taken by Oz Snaps Photography but I had the pleasure of compiling the album to tell the story.
