At my age my memory plays tricks. There was a Transcend
thumb drive on my kitchen island. I have no idea on how it got there. I
connected it and found about 800 family photographs. Some I had not memory of
having taken them. After a couple of trips to BestBuy I can now project them
for a future family gathering. Before that happens I have been looking at each
photograph and deleting duplicates; adding or subtracting contrast and colour
correcting faces. This will take at least another week.
Because I started taking photographs of Rosemary when we
were married in 1968 and then took photos of our daughters and later of our two
granddaughters I don’t have hundreds of them. I have thousands of them.
While fixing these pictures I found these wonderful portraits of my youngest granddaughter Lauren holding stuffed animals. I am proud of them. They are not snapshots (instantáneas in Spanish), they are portraits. My Rosemary taught me to notice hands. Many of these feature them. Lauren is now 22 so I am sure she will smile when she sees these.
