photo of us

this is the snapshot of my brother and i under the umbrella (circa: 1954)that i enlarged and then glued down to the developing piece (see below).

although i love the old striped umbrella, i didn't choose to include it. why? because sometimes things, altho cute or cool, like an old umbrella, should wait their turn for a piece that calls for them to come forward. here, inclusion of the unmbrella would have been too much for this simplisitic piece.
