23 and Everyone Else

This is a take on the popularity of DNA tests. It's fine to know who your ancestors were, but you can't change your heredity. What's more important is why we are here. There's no test for that.

Aunt Kitty Meets Annie Hall

My great aunt Kitty deep sea fishing during the twenties. Great outfit that reminded me of Annie Hall. My aunt lived a fabulous life in NewYork, Saratoga Springs and Fort Lauderdale.

Fragments: Trudy Clare

This is a found person, the photo came from a flea market, it was marked from a Minnesota photographer. Trudy Clare is a nod to my mother's sister Gertie.  The cutwork in her hair really works well.
