Some of us remember certain instantaneous images -- the mind's "still" photos -- that felt and still feel vivid and "living". Sometimes that image is from real life, an unforgettable moment we experienced; and others are memories of photographs. The famous Karsh photo of Churchill deserves to be famous, I feel. We have a photo of my son when he was one or so -- alert, bright, and beaming with joy. He was the happiest child I've ever known. Is it possible the photo caught and projects that as well as any painting might? ************** Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place. Try it now.
