絵のように飾る写真たち 写真こんな風に飾ってくださっています！その7
My first friend in US Christine has sent me some photos of her scared place in her house. Photos of her daughter, Shannon is on the right. It has been 25 years since we last spoke to each other. I am so surprised that she still has the photo and cherishes it. It is truly thankful and I really appreciate the way she keeps the good memories with my photo. Thank you Chris!
Following is the message from Chris on these photos:
You gave me this framed photo of Shannon as a gift and when I moved in with my partner, he had these photos of his daughter and his mother on her wedding day. They all look as if they were framed to purposely be displayed together.
I also keep them together because they represent the women in our lives.
My daughter, his daughter and his mother. We look at them and remember them as they were and as who they are today. The small mirror reflects us and who we are today.
The memories make me happy and the colors are soothing. It’s important to have this special place to stop each day to look and feel happiness and be at peace.
Also the the photo makes me feel closer to Shannon even though she lives so far away.
アメリカで最初に友達となったChristineと25年ぶりにfbでやり取りをした。私が写真家になりたての頃に撮ったChrisの娘Shannonの写真を今でもお家に飾ってくれていると聞き驚きとともに心から感謝！パートナーの娘さんと彼のお母様の結婚写真と一緒に大切に飾ってくれていて、毎日そこに挨拶をするのが日課だそう。そして、Shannonとのツーショットは、離れて暮らしている今でもとっても近くに感じる...と言ってくれた。まさに私が写真の素晴らしさを日本でお伝えしたい理由。離れていても、心があったかくなる、その一瞬に引き戻してくれる、あの時の空気や匂い温度や会話...全てを思い出させてくれる、家族や友達をより愛おしく思わせてくれる...写真を皆さんに残して欲しい理由。
