This blog was begun in 2006 in part to detail the process of preserving my grandmother’s home movies. That preservation project grew into two local Home Movie Day events, a brief stint as a library archivist, and, most recently, a half-hour documentary (now in post-production) about my extraordinary grandmother, a Southern homemaker who has taken at least a dozen photos a day for the last thirty plus years, amassing an archive of over 150,000 photographs.

In the coming weeks, I’ll revisit the long and sometimes tedious process of caring for my grandmother’s photo and home movie collections, and I’ll reflect upon the process of making this film about her, a project that slowly came into being over the last three years.

(The wonderful poster art for For Memories’ Sake is the work of Adam Ewing at Yee-Haw Industries.)
