This page is under construction.
The following pictures are provided for your enjoyment. There’s no rhyme or reason to the order (yet?), but among the vast exhibit are a few are gems that include family pictures, pictures of me quite young, and others that I find interesting (or artistic), as pictures go. But the vast majority of them are probably best described, simply, as just pictures.
There’s one picture among the mix that I’m especially proud of to have posted. Not that I like the picture; in fact the complete opposite is true. No, I’ve found it repulsive for decades, been too ashamed to look at it. It’s only been very recent that I’ve been able to look at it. I’m proud of myself for overcoming the shame that picture has caused me, first, to the point I could look at it, and then to the point to be able to share it with others, … and now with the world. The caption makes it quite clear which one I’m referring to. It’s a huge step for me to be able to share it. It’s a testimony that, as I continue on my healing journey, I am moving forward. Two steps forward, one step back, and that’s okay.
As I mentioned in the ‘About Me’ section of this blog on the home/menu page, one of my hobbies is photography. It’s safe to assume that unless it’s obvious I didn’t take the picture, I did. I expect this gallery will change over time as I add more interesting pictures and remove others. This will be a process as I have sooo many pictures!
At the moment, the only way that I see to view this gallery is to scroll from the very top all the way down to the last image. I’m not a big fan of that method, as viewing all the pictures in one sitting might be overwhelming, plus it might make finding the picture again very challenging. I’m still learning this platform and will be looking for a better way to explore the gallery, but for now it is what it is.
Regardless, the bottom line is that the pics are for your enjoyment and I hope you do.
