For some reason or another, or for lots of reasons,
this is the only photo I have of my parents together.
It's aged and creased and cracked and faded
and precious.
We watched a dreadful movie the other night
(not worth mentioning the name),
but there was a scene when the principal was asked
"If your house was burning down and you had 60 seconds
to grab something before you left, what would it be?"
I think I would grab this photo.
This is my submission this week for Razmataz's photo challenge AGED.
Jacqueline, It is a beautiful photo. The creases give it charm. Don't they look so elegant.?
ReplyDeleteLook at your mothers's hair and dress...so 1960's. I feel the same way about some photos I have. Maybe you should have a negative of it made and stored someplace. ♥O
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post! I love the photo and how special it is to you. :)
ReplyDeleteSome things are just irreplaceable.
ReplyDeleteA lovely photo and precious too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! I love that dress. Kit
ReplyDeleteI love this post, and if you had to have just one picture I would pic this one, it's beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJacqueline,
ReplyDeleteAh, there is a story hidden in there...too precious to share perhaps.
The age and condition of the photo makes the story all the more poignant.

Thank you for sharing something so precious. I too would grab certain photos in those 60 seconds. They looked like they were at a special event in the picture and were dressed so impeccably. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful Jacqueline and you are so lucky to have it. This is one of the many things I love about blogging. We can share images like this. You have reminded me about my own....my little treasure chest is what I call it. Fifty+ years worth of photos..yikes!
ReplyDeleteI thought when I saw this picture that it explained a lot. You, Victoria and the precious picture of your sister..beautiful women mirroring the image of their mother :)
Best wishes for a wonderful weekend...I hope you get to do something extra special for yourself!

What a lovely photo. I love it with all its worn cracks and lines - definitely shows 'age'.
ReplyDeleteJacqueline,
ReplyDeleteI love the photo and the story behind it. Old family pictures are indeed treasures, creases, cracks and all.
