In honor of my Grandpa Ben

My Grandpa passed away this week. He was 98 and half. I only hope my life can be half as interesting and amazing as his.

I have so many great memories...
Sharing a slice of Grandma's apple pie- I would eat the filling and he would eat the crust (I only like the filling)
Stories of him and his brother cutting up a fur coat to make themselves mustaches when they were boys in Poland. My favorite was a bedtime story about a dog named Rin Tin Tin
All the singing, he had a wonderful voice and loved to sing- he was the cantor of his synagogue
and so many many more memories...

I took these photos when my grandparents came to visit me at Syracuse University. They were taken with a twin lens medium format camera.
