Pictures are a portal to days long past. No they don't actually take you there. But in your mind you can stretch back to feel the past. People are very image conscious, and photographs can unlock long forgotten areas of your mind. Those long ago memories are still in there, in the back of your brain closet, buried under all the more recent experiences.
This portrait of Kim was created in 1987, when Kim was 30. This was 10 years before I met her. So, anyway I was looking for another set of pictures, and found this, along with another couple nice portraits. This one was done by a photographer. Its a nice picture, well cropped, then pasted to a matte black poster board, then signed, and dated. It is simply titled "Kim".
So, this morning I have been Time Traveling back to the 1980's. No, I did not use a 'time' machine. All you need is your mind to go anywhere you want. It seems that Kim was doing better than I was at this point. She had portraits...
This last portrait was one of the Glamor Shots, and I am still looking for that set. This one is 16x20, and in a frame with glass and everything. This, I guess, was the Glamor Shot people's idea because the look is atypical for Kim. I like it, even though it doesn't quite look like Kim to me...
