This is beautiful, Stella - such a gorgeous story of connection. Opportunity for recollection comes from so many sources, and I love it when things catch us unexpectedly to give us that. 😊

Thank you, Rebecca! I couldn’t be happier. Although she didn’t articulate it, I hope my aunt enjoyed our text conversation as much as I did.

I think that's pretty clear, Stella - it obviously meant a great deal to both of you. Absolutely lovely.

I loved your musings on what this photograph means to you. And the Teju Cole quotation is marvellous too!

Thanks, Andrew! I keep a running list of quotes on photography-- a habit I’ve kept when I used to work at a library. Teju Cole’s quote is a keeper.
