Self Portrait with Two Silver Dollars

Hot! In Nostalgia

by Charles Rushton

Uploaded 14 Sep 2009 — 88 favorites

Nostalgia is about remembering "the good old days" and good old ways. I can remember my grandmother giving me silver dollars as birthday presents. But those days are past and gone. Anyway you don’t need me to read a photograph for you. You have plenty of ideas of your own.

so funny, on one hand; so effective, on the other: visualizing our own mortality fills us with nostalgia for the potent life we haven't lived yet -- so we hurry/ decide to Live : )

Here lie the bones of Charles Rushton,

his portriats are what laid him down.

Took a nice photo of a thoudsand-pound man,

who tripped on his tripod and crushed him.
