Since Katrina I have not been collecting pictures. I don’t see the point any more. I still have the ones on my laptop, but the ones that documented growing up and changing, they are all gone. Maybe it's better this way. Sometimes photos let us hold on to the past when we really should be paying attention to the present and creating a future. Loosing my photos was are real hard blow. I want to be able to say to myself "it's okay, they are just pictures," but that would not be true. They were not just pictures when I had them and they are still not just pictures now they are gone. Yet, deep down I have to acknowledge that they are just gone and I am here. Picture that.
