two very dear friends of my family passed away this weekend. my family goes atving all the time with a giant group of friends that have grown into family. this weekend they boys of the group went to the walden sand dunes. unfortunately, two of them got into a head on collision, both of them passed away. one of them was my best friend in the entire world's dad. so, this triggered a memory from the happier times of atving, in delta, colorado. where i've spent literally every memorial day. one summer we found an old worn out rag in the middle of the road, and decided to have a funeral for it. stupid, i know, but we were dumb kids and we had fun doing it. the video we made of the burial is still around and the cross we built is still there... and this was over ten years ago.
so, here is my memory. the photos are from delta and the text over it tells the story of "old mighty tidy rag". the top picture is the cross we built over 10 years later and the flowers bloomed over the "grave". i don't think this is my best project, but it means something to me. and this weekend's tragedy has helped me to realize how much more important this memory is in my life.
rest in peace jimmy and chris. you will be missed.
The deeper the meaning the more powerful work it is. Which is really the whole point of many of these assingments
ReplyDeleteI think with both this and with the sunset, you could use the rule of 3rds a little stronger.(mostly on the flower)I look forward to seeing these in person.
This one might be a nice entry to scholastics.
