Photo Hunters * CREATIVE*



CREATIVE
This photo was taken in the 80's before digital photography. The camera did a rewind however, it didn't go into the canister so we thought we were using a new roll of film on picture number one. This is what a double exposure photo looks like. The original picture was the exposure of the Hardee's Race car with my brother and I- the double exposure was my daughter taking a photo of herself.
After this happened, we tried several time to create a double exposure again without success.

CELEBRATING CYNDY


My tribute today is for my wonderful friend Cyndy. Today she would have been 67 years young. She had Lupus a condition that we shared for years, we always offered encouragement and empathy during each other's flares. The past 2 years she battled Cancer and all of it's issues with determination and the attitude of helping others with Cancer during her time of remission.

Cyndy taught me everything that I know about being an IT Administrator, trained me in technology instruction to be a trainer to teach teachers within our school district. Cyndy also was my mentor during my college years while I was attending 2 universities at the same time. She was a wonderful person full of enthusiasm, laughter, encouragement and a nurturer. Cyndy was my rock when I was in teaching the 5 years in middle school. On numerous occasions we would go out for planning dinners at Cracker Barrel or Beauregard's. These were wonderful times that I shall always treasure.

Cyndy taught for 30 years, giving everything she had to her students and colleagues. After retirement then she moved back home to Missouri. We kept in contact by phone and holiday cards.


Throughout all of our years together, Cyndy never let me take a photo of her. I wish I had one so that you could she what a lovely woman she was not only by my words...but how she looked on the outside.


Cyndy is a friend and colleague that every person/teacher/co-worker would dream of having. Now I look forward to the day that we shall meet again in heaven. I thank God for blessing my life with this WONDERFUL and LOVING FRIEND !


If you have a friend like Cyndy, please treasure every second that you two can share together. Once they have past on ... you will still have them by your side and in your heart through your memories.
