Old Pictures and Memories

For years my parents, each time they have dragged-out any old photos, they are quick to state that "Your sister and you will never want these pictures." I have explained to them, to the extent that there is any truth to that; it would not be from a lack of interest in our family's history, it would be the result of a lack of "Context."

 Old Pictures carry Memories  only as long as the person viewing them recognizes the people contained, or stories connected to the images. Sure, devoid of information regarding the history, names and personalities: then one looses any personal connection the images and they become just generic "Old Photos."

It's the stories that are interesting.

There are a few faces i recognize, but there are so many "Holes"

Today we live in a world where the average 16 Yrs old girl has 950 photos on Facebook

This was a time when  two or three  photos are the sole images to capture whole periods of one's life.

This is where names, dates and stories create value and interest. I want to see the stories posted here.

Summer

With the temperature hitting 102 yesterday, there is no mistaking that summer has arrived .
While little changes for me, Lane is having a busy summer working at fist one intership at a video studio, then taking two classes at Colombia Collee, the to a 10 day intership with Michael Moore.

He is still adding to his website.

As well as making movies.

Happy Birthday Jerry

For the past 19,485 days I've been lucky enough to have the most loving, selfless, supporting man any child could hope to have as his father.  


Both you and mom, without fail, have made every reasonable attempt to be present at each event in my life, and now also in Lane’s.

Throughout these many years, you taught me how to be a son, but simultaneously and more importantly, how to be a good father.... After 26 years working for you you've presented me with vast information and lessons on running a business.(In that area I wish I was a better student).


You have always been the foundation upon which all of my hopes and dreams have been built and there is not a day that goes by that I am not consciously thankful for all you have done, and continue to do daily.

Happy Birthday Dad
