Blue Electric Room
Ask

Copyright recognition is silly, because it's obvious I hold no rights to images from motion pictures, LIFE magazine, or the Smithsonian. I do make every effort to credit sources and illustrators, because it just seems right. However, all text here is "copyright Blue Electric Room" unless otherwise noted. Some posts are true facts about the world, other posts describe the world as it might have been if I were in charge. Please include any text, captions, and credits if you reblog.

Joey Harrison at Flickr posted a recent photo of his mother, along with shots taken of her when she was a member of an amateur photographers club. In the recent photo Chalet Harrison might be anyone’s grandmother, or the older woman we see in the supermarket parking lot, or that senior citizen in line ahead of us at the post office.

But notice (as though we couldn’t) how interesting she is reading that book on the river bank; how adorable she is in the middle of those home projects; how flippin’ hot she is washing that car. Resolution for 2013: I must begin giving senior citizens the attention and respect they would have assuredly received from me in another time, another place.
