I have been moved to write about old photos found (my "Grief" is one such poem)<BR/>And just recently, an old friend recently found some b/w negatives, of pics she shot of me, as a very young lady. I asked her to send them, to see how I'd feel, if I xcould write about it... The photos are in b/w, and she did them for a photography class when we were at University together--nearly 30 years ago!! It was stunning to see myself, so young(it is obvious I wore too much makeup-my eyes look very "1940's"), and my hair is still very dark(before my days of having my hair made lighter by various hairdressers), and it is so much wavier than I remembered, and I am so semi-nude(they are tasteful photos that emphasize angles and shadows and the plants in the pictures, as much as me and my body). I look so shy, and you can see how very awkward I was, how unsure I look....And I kept thinking: "This is the face before she(me) was attacked, before the break-up with a succession of men, before she came out as Bi, before she fell-in-love for the first time, with a woman. Before she was made whole."<BR/>Maybe I can get a poem from these old photos...Lisa Nanette Allenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263158091013515471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-44153947916820500792008-07-26T10:57:00.000-04:002008-07-26T10:57:00.000-04:00I just got that issue of Poetry East, too.
