Paul Bowles, an author (among many other professions) wrote letters to his mother in 1931. He recently released two of them to be published, and I read them. It was so touching, to me, the amount of love he poured into those letters. It's not that they were sentimental, they were simply well written. Anyways, he referred to some photographs he sent her as "snaps". I don't know why, but I found that delightful. He also referred to "the talkies", which are the movies that came after silent films. Language: is it not the most beautiful phenomenon?
The above picture is from my family's late December trip to Tahoe City, CA. As we were leaving my mom was staring up into the sky, and told me to take a picture of the trees and the sky. "This would make a great picture, I think." I think she was right.
