| Me, 1949. My father is reflected in the mirror. |
This shot was taken in our living room in the parsonage of St. John's Congregational Church in Springfield, Mass. I just noticed the reflection of my father taking the picture last night. I looked everywhere for that teapot in later years but it was lost in one of the various moves. It was blue with a gold design over it. The couch was with us for many years. Eventually the cushions were covered in reddish leather, or something like it. I remember that table, which was also around for a long time. And those little plastic records my sister and I used to play on our little phonograph.
This photo has nothing to do with this weeks theme at Sepia Saturday but to see some that do and more that don't, click

Could you even count how many times this moment was replayed given your family's blessed passion for photography?
This stirs up so many memories for me. The same sofa, along with two matching chairs, sits in the cottage we've rented for years. I love that we can never damage it (though we've tried!) but hate that I can't stretch out to read on it without finding extra pillows.
Somehow that reflection of your father makes this photo more valuable. That doesn' alway apply when the snapper is caight in the frame.
I love this photo, and the way it evokes the memories of people and place. You are darling!
It’s a lovely shot of you in a pensive pose!
Not only is it a beautiful picture of you, it has a real feeling of your home.
That photo would be nice even without the reflection, but I think the reflection makes it extra special.
Lovely photo of you made even more beautiful with your dad always there watching over you.
Glad for you you saw his reflection. I agree it adds to the value for you.
Great post.
