Over His Shoulder, Through the Window


This is a photo of a photo I took 28 years ago at a Mennonite estate sale in Virginia. The original photo was part of a series I did for a photojournalism class at VCU. A few weeks ago, I sold the photo frame (with the photo in it) during a yard sale but snapped this picture beforehand.

  1. This is a good way to "keep" your memories without taking up any space.

  2. Yes indeed, Yola. I got the idea from the editor of unclutterer.com. In an article that appeared in Real Simple, she offered a "ten commandments of uncluttering." The related rule was "Tear Down the Museum." Get rid of those mementoes. Photograph them.
