This Photograph is my Proof

I have had this post card since I was a teenager. It now is worn and has a red wine mark on it. It has hung in every home I have had and I love it.



Duane Michals, 1974 • This photograph is my proof. There was that afternoon, when things were still good between us, and she embraced me, and we were so happy. It did happen. She did love me. Look for yourself.

This is Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I could feel the love when I read that.

Gah! This was in one of my art history books in college. I always found it so emotional, poignant, sad, nostalgic -- a big mix of longing. I love this.
