Sobre las fotos

This is one of my favorite photos of Tyche. It is not the best one of her, nor is it the best quality. Somebody said to me, about the video I made, that not all of them were the best pictures of Tyche. It might have been meant as a kindness, as if any picture could capture her 'true beauty.' There is nothing that can do that except herself, but in her absence I love this picture. Captura una expresión que es solamente de ella, que nadie más podria hacer. Captura algo en los ojos achinados que me la recuerda de una manera que ninguna de las otras cientos de fotos que tengo de ella lo hace. De hecho ahora siento que todas las fotos que tengo de Tyche son las mejores, pero sé bien que ninguna de esas fotos es ella.

Saying goodbye

“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh.

It was hard to come back to Baltimore knowing there was no one that would be really and openly happy to see me return. It was hard to see her ashes in that little box they sent me, even when it is quite beautiful. Estoy tratando de evitar los eufemismos y enfrentar la muerte de frente, y en esto también está Tyche. She was the best! And in my heart of hearts she is still all around me.
