120 years ago

i just read on cnn.com that researchers have found this photograph of helen keller with her teacher, ann sullivan, 120 years after it was taken on cape cod. (taken in 1888!!!) photographs are amazing. a moment frozen in time. still amazes me everytime i think about it. 
renee, i still remember that the helen keller book used to be your favorite!

This photo made me melt, as I have always been so intrigued by Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan. I've read tons of biographies and auto-biographies on them over the years. Good choice of topics.

helen keller's story was amazing. good picture because everytime i think of her i think of melissa gilbert. maybe now i can picture the real helen keller.

but what is up with these old photos resurfacing randomly....they just got a copy of a picture of the boyfriend/love interest of anne frank..they've never had one before. this old dude was friends with him and it just dawned on him to send a pic in to a museum.
