The Past Revisited

Friday afternnoon, this 1941 Plymouth glided into the parking lot of our local general store. Memories rolled in too--granddad, coarse tan seat covers, musty car smells, trips to the Piggly Wiggly and the drug store's soda bar, sun-streamed mornings, burned toast, fresh coffee, heavy cream, playground swings, moss-covered bricks, ivy-covered walls, ice cream on scalding summer afternoons, the porcelain doll in doll trunk (with dresses, petticoats, hats and shoes), night-time shadows flickering and dancing on bedroom walls.......

Images are powerful. They can transport us through space and time.

Have wanted to take this shot for some time. Finally got around to it. Am fascinated with clean, stark images processed in black and white, or sepia.

Reality Is. During this holiday season, I get to reminisce about past Christmases, snow, candles, church services, choirs, solos, O Holy Night, parents, grandparents, children, shopping, baking and Christmas trees. My Reality expands to include What Was in What Is.
