Defining Memory

Oliver Wendell Holmes defined photography as a mirror with a memory. This photograph speaks to me of that definition - the Thanksgiving table a few hours before we ate looks like the place where the past begins to slide out of the present.

The low light created a shaky focus and an unintended blur that seems to capture where Thanksgiving now resides in me, four days after gathering for a delicious meal. It's a yummy impressionistic memory of a really fun day and evening.
