A stack of photographs, some black and white, decaying and brittle—others in vibrant Kodachrome hues. All are copied, treasured, their subjects smiling, holding each other tight in that frantic electric emotion lost to the afterward. For some, the photographs are realistic remembrances of memories faded, lost to the tendrils of time and limitless emotion. For others, drowning in the joy, lust, and emotion in that posed flash of time, they are desperate to hold onto what actually never was. But in that moment, they all seem like an integral part of the story. And I get to keep those moments.
Poignant and emotional. Beautiful.
Thank you, Jon. I really appreciate your support on the writing journey.
Beautiful, well done! Lots captured in a very short text.
Ps: Kodachrome forever 😉
Thank you, Julian! 🙂
Very nice phrasing and sharing of emotional connection to memorabilia. I liked the detail of how everyone experiences the moment in a different way and might have varied reactions to that time but that collectively all the players make this special.
Thank you, Cassie. I really appreciate the feedback. It’s nice to hear that I am on the right track and that my intent with the piece came through.
