This site is about the literary and photographic interests of a fascinating group of people in my family history. They include my grandfather Ernest, his sisters, and my grandmother. All were authors, most of the women in multiple languages. Ernest was an active photographer with his own interests, as well as collaborating on publications with both his wife and his sister Elizabeth.
