New Year, Old Memories

While going through a pantry drawer, I found an old tea towel my mother had purchased on our trip to Ticonderoga, NY in 1959.  (Why do I keep these things?)  I was born there in 1949.  We went to visit friends and to see the re-enactment of Samuel de Champlain's "discovery" of Lake Champlain.  My father used his new movie camera to film it; the most boring 3 mins ever recorded looking back on it now.  There is an impressive fort there and I've added two photos to the collage, one of the fort and one of my brother and I standing overlooking the lake.  So, a new year begins but old memories still draw me back...

My new word for the year is, REIMAGINE.  Last year it was ADAPT which we all had to do with the pandemic.  Now, I feel I need to reimagine my life where we must contend with this for the foreseeable future.  But it also applies to art, photography, all sorts of things.  As we get older we get more set in our ways and for me it is time to reimagine something new.
