Sometimes I run into things I don’t remember at all such as
this photograph. Oh, I remember doing
these two drawings. I liked the old
tower, but there wasn’t any room for lifeguards in this old shack. I didn’t like the new cement block
tower. It was cold and echoed, but it
had plenty of room for lifeguards and their things at the time it was built. I bet there’s no room now.
But where was I? Was
this at the newspaper office? Were these
copies or originals. Copies probably as
they are 8 1/2 x 11. I was drinking
heavily…look how thin I was. I was happy
about this moment, but I’m still left wondering where I was.
Don’t you have moments like these?
In the photo below, I know exactly where I was, what
happened, and where each piece of art is today that was in this
photograph. Even the Chair. I’m left wondering why I blanked out the
history of that moment with the lifeguard towers.
I received a picture in the mail yesterday, from my old (sixty years) friend -- the two of us. She didn't know when it had been taken.
ReplyDeleteI remember, but I haven't decided whether I will tell her. She thinks it might have been before a wedding, but I know it was before a funeral.
I love these photos!!!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAt least you have photos....it is so much fun to look back and see the hairstyles, the clothes and so on. I have a few photos in outfits, I don't even remember.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork. I am dismal about modern art, although I like colors.
ReplyDeleteI have photos I can't recall, but mostly from younger days. Amazingly you saved so many old photos. Fun to look at.
I thought of something else, but can't remember what. Dianne
Alcohol robbed you of your memory. Too sad. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletePhotos have a sneaky way of doing that.
ReplyDeleteI forget what I was going to say here. (It happens.) So I'll just say hello.
ReplyDeleteYes, it often happens that I find an old photo of myself and can't figure out where it was taken. And then there are the photos with furniture I used to have and I can't think what happened to that chair or that table.
