Run -- don't walk -- to your nearest library or bookstore, and get this book of amazing photographs by Stephen Wilkes.  You can read more about it and see an excerpt gallery at   www.ellisislandghosts.com.

I was going through old boxes of photos and letters last night, and came across this photo of my grandmother, Dorothy Abbot Loomis,  taken in 1914 at noted photographer Clarence White's Seguinland School of Photography in Maine.  My grandmother Dorothy was an avid and talented photographer, and I have a number of photos of her taken during this time period, either by White himself or one of the students at the school.  Read more about my grandmother's own photography and see some of her photos here.
