The bond between brothers begins with a simple conversation. This photo is a particular favorite of mine. I love the willingness to share, the reluctant willingness to receive and the help that is being given by the sharer’s mouth. This particular photograph has become historically interesting. This is the now-closed …
What a dilemma we have created for ourselves with the advent of wonderful and affordable cameras. Now, rather than searching for even one ancestral photograph, our posterity will not know where to begin because of the number of photographs available to them. Gone are the days of photo albums on …
