Dad’s Belt

Dad’s belt sat curled up in an upper drawer of his dresser. I don’t remember being hit with the belt, but I remember being afraid of it.
Before
Pinhole Camera Photography
During the summer of 2015 I decided I wanted to be 14 years old again; that magic age where I explored the suburban woods, played “war” with my friends and made things with my hands. It was a time filled tree houses, go-carts, sulfur burning science experiments, and B&W prints created in my basement darkroom.
My Father’s Ashes
Photography/Mixed Media
When my father died, his ashes were sent to me. I put the brown box on a shelf in our laundry room and forgot about it. When we moved, the brown box found its way to a closet in my basement. Then, through a series of events, the ashes ended up in my mother’s garage 30 years after my parents divorced.
