reliving moments and times captured in photographs. There are these tons of albums that are all carefully kept in the bookshelf but not taken out and looked at often enough, I feel. To check on something we do pull them out, but then we are looking for something specific....not meandering through the roads and byways and slip-roads that our life has gone on.
Some of the pictures have become faded and in some the colors have actually changed but otherwise they are just fine and looking at them brought back such an amazing collage of recollections...Bright colors, dim shades, shadows, clear outlines, hazy silhouettes, a juxtaposition of moments in time....all working towards changing us - refining, defining, paring and scraping, including, deleting, repairing, fixing...
In some pictures I've wondered if those persons are really us...Yes, we've changed in many ways...the trajectory is clear - there is a deepening of maturity and a gradual but sure unfolding of strength...it's there in our faces, in the way we stand and in the way we have been photographed....
As for my DD.....all the stages are there....from a tiny little baby to the beautiful young lady she is today.
.....memories caught forever on sheets of photographic paper...
