Breathtaking Pictures from the Hours of Long Ago Light a Particular Present As we age... the past, contained within memories, can fade and become dark and muted. But old photos preserve a personal history and provide a view through which to perceive a family's journey and our own life. In from THE ATTIC, lost photos... the author shares some moments of her snapshot archive that are a personal visual memoir. We pass through the pictorial lens as time unfolds and illuminates the moving images that were preserved on so many yesterdays. There is a sense of mystery and even poignancy for the contemporary viewer. Readers may be inspired to dust off their own old albums and be reminded of their own ancestor's layered visual and creative odysseys. It is with this shared radiant experience through which we can all emotionally connect. The photos are categorized in seven categories. The opening pictures are of my parents and their friends. They were taken over eighty years ago during a road trip. I am gobsmacked at how they were inspired to create for photosbold layers of humor around discovered remains and I am amused at how they continued a naked theme in several snapshots as the years passed. It is wonderful to connect to a personal history and see family I never knew in a very old photo and to remember relatives in pictures and reminisce about those mentioned in an old faded letter written almost a century ago.
