Posterity
The Call: Fading Images — Cheryl
I probably have close to 100,000 photos on my hard drives. In recent years, I’ve likely printed up a dozen or so. In contrast, the actual, physical (I can hold them in my hand) pictures from my childhood, early adult years and my parents’ early adulthood fill box after box and album after album. I sometimes wonder which ones are more likely to survive for my kids and theirs.
The Response: There Stands Jackson — Jessica
…to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity…
(now, in one of those happy coincidences, I just happened to be taking my 6 year old to a birthday party at a facility right next to the Manassas battlefield. Finding the bouquet of flowers for Stonewall Jackson was another happy accident.)
Nice collection of pictures. I have the same collection of boxes and albums for the first two children. It was with the third that we went digital…couldn’t tell you how many digital I have (and I have lost a lot from crashed hard drives… : (
Crashed hard drives? Yikes.
I like the perspective you chose for shooting the statue, and I’m happy about the serendipity with today’s Call.
