Don't you think that the 'in between' moments and the actions of daily life are the most interesting parts for audiences watching old home movies now? Who hasn't done that - looked at old photo albums and, instead of thinking about all of the things the people in the photo imagined you would look at, and which people at the time probably noticed (is my dress sitting straight, is my hair sticking up) you are noticing the little things. The make of the car in the background, the classic 60s style of the dress, the old-fashioned can opener on the table, the fridge, the silly shorts that boys wore. Things that have dissapeared into history. Its very hard to look at images of the past without getting stuck on those details. But that's just what I think. :-) I like that little book.
