We remember feelings and put in the words.<br />I often wonder what those memories will be that my kids carry into the future.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02984819069705439266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680851414073805302.post-66291502708977509562015-03-14T18:04:42.025-04:002015-03-14T18:04:42.025-04:00Clarity and focus aren't all they are cracked ...Clarity and focus aren't all they are cracked up to be.

I was particularly cranky about stilted holiday photos where everyone is facing the same way and has a smile glued on their faces (except for the youngest kids - the ones who are still too pure to pretend, too caught up in living to bother with anything else). <br /><br />One photo that I particularly like is one I found of Alberto Giacometti, striding brashly forward like one of his own sculptures, his propulsive motion captured in a static image as a "blur." There's something fascinating about the way photos freeze moments that were never, not even for an instant, frozen in time. In that sense, there's a sort of perpetual misunderstanding memorialized in every photo. What you write here has me thinking about that, and about how our memories memorialize experiences similarly . . . and yet at the same time that "fuzziness" about the edges offers an ambiguity that is both alluring and productive as we revisit them and try to connect the dots again, often in different ways . . .neal callhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17285975416175230777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680851414073805302.post-82340206792893036792015-03-13T22:43:18.886-04:002015-03-13T22:43:18.886-04:00There's so much beauty in this post that I wou...There's so much beauty in this post that I wouldn't even know where to begin.

The blurred pictures really capture that feeling. Thanks for sharing and happy birthday.
