The Original PHOTO”
Yesterday… posted this PHOTO of Lee Aldrich in color. When one compares the ‘one’ with the ‘other’ – – its all the difference of… DAY and NIGHT!
If you have the “TIME” – – click from yesterday’s post… the “PHOTO” in color – – one and back to the other – – and really compare. This suit is changed to a “NEW” suit – – and the same with the tie. Even Lee’s face seems so much more alive. The whole world of color – – used is just the right degree of shading and texture — Just have to give the Almighty full credit for having this PHOTO turn out to be a really wonderful remembrance of the Love of my LIFE – – since he needed to leave “EARTH”… too soon.
Since the boys were young and I knew that without seeing their FATHER each and every day – – it would be too soon and they would never have a real good idea of what he looked like. So… I stared going through all the PHOTOS that I could find – – to find that “one”… that – – I would like and would be something the boys would see daily – – fixing a permanent reminder… of what their FATHER did look like – – when he was here with us.
With my envelope of PHOTOS – – I went to the down town “FAMOUS and BARR” store – – as that was “the” store our FAMILY did the majority of their shopping.
In the “PHOTO” department – – I had explained what I was… IN HOPES OF HAVING THEM DO WITH ONE OF THESE – – small photos… maybe making a miracle happen – – because what I had to work with – – – well the selection was pitiful – – – to say the least.
Sometimes in Life… when you want HEAVEN – – but you just know it is not here on EARTH – – I almost thought that this was not going to turn out to be what I really want – – but evidently… the Almighty must have sent some of his “ANGELS” to work with me that day – – I could not believe – – the price that I was quoted was what I could work with – – and this PHOTO… they told me would be the best of all those that I had for them to work with – – and they would enlarge this small PHOTO to the best and as large as possible size – – that I would be very “HAPPY” with the results.
When I returned to “FAMOUS BARR” store to see the final and finished “work of art” – – because that is what “it” is. They had a couple of frames selected to view the PHOTO in – – but the one that they had on – – just did wonders – -and I was not about to make a change. In walking out of the store – – I think that I was walking on “Cloud NINE” – – I could hardly wait to get HOME and hang it up for all to see – – for the whole world to view and admire.
