Okay, THIS is definitely the oldest photo in my Photos library. 1976, standing in front of the palace at Ludwigsburg in Germany. Definitely scanned from one of the square photos from my Grandmother's old Brownie camera, which I still have. My grandfather took this photos. He and his niece and I did day trips to points of interest during our 5-week stay at her home in the Black Forest. #OldDays
I don't expect the seasonal job to ask me to work today. I think they might be fed up with me saying not to assignments that aren't local. At this point, I don't care.
Instead, I'm going to do my first 30-min Photos library pruning session, clean my kitchen, and work on some art projects. I need a day of play.
The pruning session may result in a lot of old photos being shared here. Be prepared. I can tag them #OldDays if you want to mute that, but I'll try to keep them interesting.
@ubernostrum is it just cynical me on big tech, or did my #IOS bluesky app just have an impossible UI, with no control over customizing my experience. #Bluesky just felt that you back raging against the machine. And for me, #Mastodon is a great place to learn and participate. Im not looking for building a huge following. That was the #olddays of #socialmedia

I was going through old pictures and found this old Internet Cafe credits card from my trip to Italy during Winter Session at the University of Delaware in 2003.
To think that Internet cafes were the rage back then. Now the Internet is ubiquitous.
Look how far we've come in 3 decades.
Launceston, intersection of Paterson & Charles Streets.
The building on the right (Atcherley & Dawson, tea merchants) is now the site of the blood bank. In earlier days, the Royal Mail Hotel was there.
To the left is the National Hotel hotel, now a car park.
Behind the photographer, to the right, is now the old National Theatre Building but at this time was probably still the former Plough Inn building.
And to the left, a shop but in the 1850s it was the Gold Digger's Return hotel.
That's a hotel on every corner. There was also the White Horse two doors down from the National, the Star (now Star Bar) up to the left and the Royal Tasman back down Paterson St (now a car park) .
Postcard, c.1910 caption "Patterson Street, Launceston", no publisher details
