You know, I was reading Seth's blog (an absolute fluke, someone posted it somewhere) and he really got me thinking about the past and memories and such. I dug up an old photo that reminds me of a time in my life when everything was safe, warm, and happy.
This particular photo was taken on the Missouri River, in Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1998. My boyfriend at the time took it. I was freezing cold so he gave me his old ugly flannel shirt to cover up with. I was very, very happy with him then. Unfortunately the day was gray, misty, and chilly...but that didn't keep my spirits down, at all.
We bought a roll of black and white film and took some shots...and here is one we came up with.

The Picture Looks Timeless.
Black & White Pictures Hid So Much Behind.
It Feels So Good Remembering Those Old Memories. All Those Crazy Things We Used To Do.

Jess, What a beautiful photo. I love black and white photography. You are just glowing!
Do you read short stories? I think I could write one just from looking at the photo. You should read the short stories of Charles Baxter. I think they would move you.
Hugs,
Brina
