Time travelling through a mountain of old slides that my grandma has kept in a cupboard for half a century.Most of them were taken by my grandfather, Ellis Kinyon, who went by “Kinny” or maybe “Kenny” depending on who you ask.He and his son David were both lost at sea in 1958, but the slides made it through the Vietnam war, disco, earthquakes, blizzards, countless moves, the Regan administration, the dot-com bust, 9/11, and my mom’s doctoral dissertation, all the way to the invention of Tumblr. Here they live.Tumblr (3.0; @kinyonslides)http://kinyonslides.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdwrbz8Dpa1rvlorbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>Burney Falls Calif.</p> </blockquote>http://kinyonslides.tumblr.com/post/51009447316http://kinyonslides.tumblr.com/post/51009447316Tue, 21 May 2013 13:02:31 -0700estherBurney FallsCaliforniaset 32contenttragedy<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdwramXgBO1rvlorbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>Entrance to Crater Lake</p> </blockquote>http://kinyonslides.tumblr.com/post/50928151037http://kinyonslides.tumblr.com/post/50928151037Mon, 20 May 2013 13:02:47 -0700Crater lakeOregonset 32contenttragedy<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdwr8xShtm1rvlorbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>camping area near Kalamath Falls</p> </blockquote>http://kinyonslides.tumblr.com/post/50845594031http://kinyonslides.tumblr.com/post/50845594031Sun, 19 May 2013 13:03:09 -0700Kalamath Fallsset 32contenttragedy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdwr6yv8Wp1rvlorbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>campsite near Kalamath Falls</p> </blockquote>http://kinyonslides.tumblr.com/post/50752663036http://kinyonslides.tumblr.com/post/50752663036Sat, 18 May 2013 13:02:58 -0700Kalamath Fallsestherset 32contenttragedy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdwr5ey6IP1rvlorbo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p>East side of Tioga Pass -
