I have a problem.
As some of you know, I did a scrapbook (my first ever) of my mother's trip to the New England states in September/October 2001. I have an amazing number of old pictures to deal with, though. That means one scrapbook down and ????? to go.
When I was growing up way back when and long, long ago, we had only black and white photos, so I have tons of those to work with. Many of the pictures are a little fuzzy, but I know Mom would like them included, so I'll do that. Around 1960 (or so), we started using some color film - but we were really quite poor, so color was for special occasions only.
There were 4 kids in our family. My brother was killed in 1972, but he has a daughter who might - or might not - appreciate a scrapbook. My plan is to duplicate some of the pictures and probably make scrapbooks for my mother, my sisters, my niece, and myself. I don't want to do all these pictures as heritage-type pages, but I do want to make the pages look decent.
Do those of you who've scrapped black and whites have some good ideas for handling these pictures? I also have studio portraits of my brother and me as babies, but I don't plan to tell you how much before 1950 my baby picture was taken! ;-)

By the way, you can see my one real effort here:
