Then and Now
I was contacted by an American publisher today (via Jenny at Lablit) - apparently an English professor at the university of Mississippi wants to use a couple of my photographs (of me) for his textbook and would I like to see the context. I have to admit I was rather pleased and though it would be about my writing. However it turns out that they are just part of an exercise in writing a profile. The students have to decided what is different about the two pictures (taken about 20 years apart) and then give me a name, a job, a family and where and how I live. And if I am famous for anything.
So they will be doing in their course almost exactly the same thing as I did yesterday and have continued to do today - inventing lives to match pictures.I can't decide if I'd want to know what they say...

this is awesomly cool! How neat.
The picture thing is fun. At the archive some family had given a whole bunch of picutres from probably 1890-1920 and I was suppose to throw the duplicates away but I just couldnt bring myself to trash them.
Good for you Susangalique! I bet they are fascinating.
