When I was writing it, it occurred to me for the first time - did the nightmares with the box begin BEFORE or AFTER Dad caught me with the negatives? Now I really wonder.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-89227126920869704432011-02-10T00:21:39.369-05:002011-02-10T00:21:39.369-05:00Beautiful and evocative, Garce.

It seemed both erotic and forbidden and human to remember myself as a boy sitting on the floor and looking at sillouettes of my mother and only realizing much later in life why Dad was so upset - because my mother was nude. Is that Freudian or what? Then - that raises a very interesting muddle. Whose idea was it? They were a young couple in their 20s at the time. Did mom come to him and say "Hey stud, put that Playboy down and take some pictures of me instead." What a sexy thing to do. We never think of our mother's as having that side to them. Or did he come to her? "I want to take some art photos of you because you have such a beautiful body." Did she demure? Did she need to be seduced? If mom were alive and sane, it would have been interesting to worm the story out of her, but of course that's not possible. That memory is a reminder to me, that even if she wasn;t the great love of his life, she was his first love.<br /><br />When you look back at the past you realise all these unsolved little mysteries that you will never know the story behind. <br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-57835312768089737782011-02-09T01:56:53.824-05:002011-02-09T01:56:53.824-05:00Garce,
