Luis,

Each day as I look at more negatives from my father-in-law's collection, I 
find another one that amazes me.  The one that I found today has been in a 
box of other negatives and prints for eighty years.  I have no idea who made 
it or what camera was involved, though the quality of the image is good.  It 
shows my wife's mother, uncle, and grandmother at a San Diego beach around 
1926, a year or so before my wife's parents ever met.  My wife gave me 
permission to post it.

The scanner software scanned it as a color negative, giving the blue tint, 
which I like, so I did not convert it to true B&W.
