Great old Photo

I was out with my aunt for dinner last night,
she was going through some of her photos and came across this one..
It is of my great Grandfather and his dog when he was little!
Old black and white photos are my favorite thing I think!
When I ever design a clients house I all ways  try to incorporate old photos and take there existing photos and make them that vintage look.
