I post these
photographs, so many faces,
faces many
of you have never seen before.
So who
cares? You don’t know them. They
may appear
pleasant or interesting enough,
but what do
they have to do with you?
I’ll let you
in on a little secret: Many of the
faces you
see here are sadly now gone,
some of them
are children no more, grown
into adult
lives of their own. Some of these
faces reach
back nearly 40-years in time.
I have but
one rule I adhere to in posting these
photographic
faces in time, and that is—not to
post any
recent photos of myself. And it is in
deference to
you I do this, my friends, who have
known me
over the passing years.
Through my
lined and graying image, I don’t wish
to alarm you
with the disturbing reminder of how
old you too
have grown. If you happen to be fewer
than 60-years,
look often into the mirror. For you
there is a
distinct possibility that there is yet some
time.
