The Journey Begins
Before my Mother died in 2018, she divided up the old family photographs and memorabilia between my brother, sister, and me.
Both my brother and sister have children in which to pass on the family history...I do not.
This project was born out of the hope and need to find answers, to connect to others, to be remembered.
Utilizing vintage picture frames, old photos, and memorabilia, I will leave these items in familiar places and other locations I find along the way.
Each photograph will be printed with this blog address and an embedded QR code.
It is my hope that the passersby will be moved and intrigued by their encounters with these historic memorials and take time to research and comment on their findings.
Thank you for your interest in My journey led me to you.
Antes de que mi madre muriera en 2018, dividió las antiguas fotografías y recuerdos familiares entre mi hermano, mi hermana y yo.
Tanto mi hermano como mi hermana tienen hijos a quienes transmitirles la historia familiar... yo no.
Este proyecto nació de la esperanza y la necesidad de encontrar respuestas, de conectar con los demás, de ser recordados.
Utilizando marcos antiguos, fotografías antiguas y recuerdos, dejaré estos elementos en lugares familiares y en otros lugares que encuentre en el camino.
Cada fotografía se imprimirá con la dirección de este blog y un código QR incrustado.
Tengo la esperanza de que los transeúntes se sientan conmovidos e intrigados por sus encuentros con estos monumentos históricos y se tomen el tiempo para investigar y comentar sus hallazgos.
Gracias por su interés en Mi viaje me llevó hasta usted.
Intriguing idea, Terry. Looking forward to seeing this new project take shape. As you know, I share your situation (no children to pass personal artifacts to) and though it pains me to say it there's a very good chance that I may not live forever! Ha.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea. I'm looking forward to seeing this.
