Domenico and Anna Cafarella and losing photos.

 
This is Domenico Cafarella and his wife Anna.  She reminds me so much of Domenico's sister Giovanna.  Anyway, this is Antonio Cafarella and Carolina Cincotta Cafarella's second son.  There is an unfortunate shine on the upper left of the photo.  This is prime evidence for all of us of the impermanence of these photos.  The silver and all subsequent prints(especially color) deteriorate very quickly, and we should all do as much as possible to convert these photos to digital as a back up.  Also, publishing these or saving them on line means that they will be accessible even after local disasters.  Just think is fire were to destroy my sister's house...all that would be left would be what I have published, and in my case that is a lot!
