For years, Laura had two 4×6 photos taped to a wall. They were two eyes of her left and my right eye. I saw it on the wall again recently and it struck me that the way that Laura saw the world, what she thought was interesting, and how she captured it were deeply a part of who she was, but something not much memorialized. It wasn’t her work, her opinions, her music, or her things, but the images she collected that really described her.
Just before christmas I found another folder of images from post cards, newspaper and magazine clippings, old B&W photos, and other odds and ends. Along with boxes of scrapbook collections, her own photographs documenting the world around her and other stuff that I keep finding, I don’t think I’ll have any trouble posting an image per day for quite a while.
I don’t plan to say much about these images. Just an image per day. Happy New Year! Enjoy.
Laura’s Eye

David, I’ve been hoping for more postings on Loose Strife. Laura and her world continue to inform ours in her unique way! Such richness there–and so gratifying for those of us who did not know her personally. Thank you, and I’ll keep looking for more. Happy New Year to you and the girls. Mary Ann

How Laura saw the world was incomplete without you, without your right eye – perhaps holding everything together. Perhaps just providing a perspective she needed. Maybe you still have each other’s eyes.
I don’t know a thing, I’m just guessing, but that makes sense to me, that you would still need each other’s eyes.
