Today is Geraldine Joyce Shipley O'Brien's 71st birthday! She was named after her father Gerald who I have to thank for my love of photography.
(we have tons of old 4x5 negatives from his old Graflex camera).
She was almost born in Bluefields Nicaragua while he worked for United Fruit Company but they came back to New Orleans so she would be born in the States.
Here are some of my favorite pics of her.
Happy Birthday Mom! xoxo-Katie

Just cruisin' around and came across these awesome vintage photos of your mom. They're great. I collect old photos (my fam and others) and really enjoyed looking at these. I'll let you know when I get around to posting some of mine.
Found you via flickr...love your unique view. What a beautiful tribute to your mom.
