Small, The By-products Photographs . . . of one type or another - scanning, one by one, digitally preserving, History, Time, Lives in passage, all representative of the photographer who recorded for posterity - and yet, it's the photographer who's gone. Small, the by-products of his life, large his legacy, his place in memory; but, oh, I'd burn it all to look my father in the eyes again. © wesley james beard, jr. august 2010 ...not a recent passage, but recent scanning. |

Deeply poignant, dear Jimmy. Good that it's not a deal, because if you were granted the wish, how long would the visit last? And then you would again be yearning ... without pictures. Come to think of it. ![]() Enjoyed this much. Love, Margherita |

Knowing the feeling, you expressed this well. My Dad loved photography too. Regards, Novus_Os Life is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured. |
