BLACK AND WHITE in Postcards 4

I had been wanting to put one of my own photographs on display in the living room. I remembered that it was a black and white of the Cabrillo lighthouse. So I spent a while this weekend browsing in my B&W files. My memory failed me, or I let must have let my brain edit the files for the image doesn’t exist.

Lots of other images exist tho. Many blurry…but with great context. Friends who are no longer here yet live happily in my head. There are whole files marked “No People.” I like the acres of clothes hangers. And too, I like the flowers. I don’t like any of the images of the lighthouse probably because none fit the memory of one I do not have.

Some make me laugh. This high school reunion picture is one.

Some pictures make me glad I knew the people in them. All are taken with the same Canon point and shoot. (One is on the table in the reunion shot.) It’s now so old I can’t get parts for it anymore, but I still take it with me every day. Yes, we have bought several of them used on eBay for parts, and yes, we have a kind photo repair shop willing to work on it.
