Photography runs deep in our Family.

Seems photography has really ran in my family linage.  Her father was the Town Photographer in Tenterfield about 35 miles from where I live now.  Amazing! I feel very connected now because of photography.  

These people pictured I am led to believe are from the Tabulam area.  (Jubulum)

 I wonder what aunt would think of my photographs.  Today we call these images.  My image shows an aboriginal gathering and nothing has changed since both photos were taken. The government is stealing the children.
