Lakeshore Memorial



The Story Behind The Print
- Lakeshore Memorial - Friends of ours who own a beautiful lakeshore home were in the process of renovating , or rather rebuilding the home of their dreams. Mixed emotions - we have all had the difficult job of "getting rid of things". But what about memories? How do you easily throw away items that have such vivid memories attached? I felt their sense of loss and had previously promised myself if I had to "get rid of something" that held deep memories I would at least shoot it first (photographically). That way I would hold on to the memories and perhaps have it live forever. This print is a memory of the "supports" that held up that precious old home, but had to go due to the necessity and the dream of re-building. I could have called this print "Memorial of Thankfulness". I dedicate this print to my friends who we appreciate so much. Many great shared family memories exist along with the struggles!
