In the Eye of the Beholder

This is just the picture of a tower for power lines. It is one place where electricity crosses the Fraser River near New Westminster's Queensborough Bridge. It might seem an odd thing to take a picture of.

I wish no-cost photography had been the norm when I was a kid. I experimented with black and white film developing as a hobby but every click of the shutter cost money. Compare that with today's essentially free digital photos and you'll see why one reason why most of my photos are only a few years old.

Nowadays, I really don't think one can take too many pictures. I'd like to be able to see images from nearly every point in my life. For example there are a million things from the early 1970's I wish I could view. Although I remember running around Nielsen's field taking photos of objects like apple trees, the only pictures I have from that era are family snaps. Seeing the people is interesting; however, I'd like to have a look at neary anything from that period of time.

What did the kitchen radio look like?

How many steps were there from the lawn down to the back driveway?

How tall was the willow tree when I was in fifth grade?

I have no photographs of these things, so I doubt I'll ever know the answers.
