I am enthralled with these photos and the fact that as a young man, he went with friends to a photography studio where they posed reading newspapers and magazines.

I don’t know what year these photos were taken. I have no idea if these were considered high end intellectual newspapers and if this was a style at the time. Would be happy to know if anyone can translate anything from the photos.

Also love the casual reading a newspaper on a hillside photo.

I hope to scan all of my old family photos.
