From a Stack of Photographic Memories (For Tracie and Jennifer)


Photographs, throughout my adult lifetime,
I have taken a few, perhaps a few more than
most. Not so nowadays, for most everyone
has the digital capabilities afforded them

with camera equipped smart phones. Now
folks of all persuasions and shades is a
photographer these days. Having seen my
better days, I don’t get around much any-

more as my traveling days have become a
cherished part of my past history. Be that at
is may, I do have a sizable stack of memories
now stored on computer and flash drive to

joyfully review from time to time. Far away
and exotic places to see, people of humankind
variety from childhood to old age. And one I
ran across the other day—Faith, in Nana’s

kitchen, then a young lass of five or six, rolling
out the dough for perhaps something special
to eat. In January, she will turn 23, I believe.
The beauty of photography and the ability to

capture precious moments for her family long
after her Nana has passed away. Oh yes, Nana
would be proud to see the young woman she
has grow to be. Those of us who have survived
certainly are.
