Point-and-click cameras are the norm today, and they go a long way toward raising the success rate of the photographing-challenged among us, but cameras were not user-friendly and operators had it tough a century ago.

If those are the recently-disposed-of Christmas greens lying on the sidewalk, and if the Chaplinesque man is dad, and if the goat cart was a present for the kiddies, then mom hasn’t gotten the hang of the new camera – or she is still into the holiday nog! “Aw, Mom, we don’t even have faces in this picture!”

Based on my limited knowledge of goats (Indian cuisine mostly), they look pretty good.

One thing is for sure: that’s one uptown cart – and the reason for adding this blurry snapshot to the collection (but don’t stare too long, it will give you a headache)!
