I’ve reached a point in my life where where what used to be crystal clear memories from my childhood to have now become somewhat faded. However, faded though they may be, these memories now come with an added feature – I am now see them through the eyes of my older self which is able to add a context and a richness to the memories that may not have been there when they were Kodachrome clear.

Whenever possible, the photos in this blog are scanned from several boxes worth I have either received from my mother or have taken myself (with a few that I wound up with by other means). They are my chief memory aids, but occasionally I may supplement with other images that have special meaning.

This blog is mainly to help me crystallize and organize the memories of my life before they fade even more. But because the present and the past often intermix, it is likely reflections on my current life will be shared as often as reflections of my past.
