Hi Mom.  Hi Dad. Do you remember these photographs? The where, when, why. Sure wish you were here to fill in the details. Alas … you are away now, forever, But together.

These photos. Almost silhouettes. Short on exacting details. but more than enough for me to know instantly, it is you!

No way to know your ages & places in life that day, but certainly before any of “US”.

The body of water behind each Of you. My My reaction is Owasco, but what are those mountains or hills behind you to the back of Dad?

Clearly posed.  Who decided this was a scene and setting to preserve?  Did you photograph each other? Was another couple with you?

I sense this is the Fall.  You are Wearing coats.  Did you drive somewhere to share the day The day …  The changing colors … Each other?

I see you.  I see the youth on The silhouette of your Faces. I see dreams and   Hope all over these photos..

When these photos were produced At the camera shop, were You excited to see them? I am confident that you looked At them together … You Mutually remarked how much fun you had together That day.

Then .. you saved the photos … For me.
