A conversation with Maureen Taylor, the Photo Detective
What is the story behind the photograph? How are these people related? When was it taken and where? These are questions we ask ourselves when we get our hands on an old photograph whether it is our own family or a photo we pick up along our way in life.
Join us in Episode #96 where we are excited to chat with Maureen Taylor about this very question. Maureen is an expert in the industry and is truly the Photo Detective. She has spent years collecting and analyzing historic photos and researching the people in them and the stories she tells are fascinating.
This is a photo of her family, and she tells the story behind the photograph and a few other stories about photographs she has collected over the years. Our conversation is full of information on determining facts in photographs and sharing them with family members. How to look for clues in the photographs to get the story behind the scenes.
