Now and then you think about "now and then".

In both pictures the same question could be asked. Is the picture of the picture made more interesting if you can find the reflection of the camera. ( what is of most interest, Now or Then?)

A camera can be clearly seen in the refection on the house, and in less so in the other picture. My hands hold the camera. It captures the reflection but not all that I remember. The second picture captures nothing that I remember. I find it interesting to find that the reflections are more interesting than the pictures. Since memory seems to be lost in the first picture it leaves me wondering if it is really lost or was it really in place then. I view who we are as not having began at birthday 1 or even birth. How could we explain how different people are and how much good and not so good exists in people if it all came with birth or a creation. Something must have always existed and the process seems to make some better and some not so. Choice is what we have and it shapes a lot. I have lived in a lot of houses over the years. The houses and the places are full of memories. Then too their must have been memories somewhere on that first birthday. Now sits on top of then in the house picture. Both exist at once.
