Over the years I've tried every digital way to keep my daily To-Do list and 'must remember' memory aids. Complete failure! Well maybe not complete ... but finally I come back to my good old notebook and pen!! Most everything else is on my smartphone or desktop ... but nothing can replace my flip-up notebook (with easy tear-out pages). One notebook lasts for 3 months, and I can flip through and find that missing phone number! My desktop has a big computer with EHDs and laptop .... and then there's my essential non-digital start to the day! 😀
Happy Donnerstagsmonochrom 😊

Objects, all manner of them, collected and arranged, that is what we have for you today.
Objects selected and collected, small charms and trinkets to hold us spellbound, little keepsakes and memory aids... why do we collect and hold on to what we do? Their power to recall a time long since past or recently been, yes, that is what intrigues me. A collection equals recollection to me.
Reconstructing that room above the shop, coaxing out 'memory aids' in the telling of a story of a possible transformation. The shop was called the 'Bon Bon', and stuttering Ruin's nickname was Ruin Bon-Bon.
The building is gone now, replaced by a fun palace called 'Playtime'. There is a certain poetry there.
There are no other records of the place, other than this photo of Ruin's sister (on the right) with her youngest brother, in need of a nappy change. The other girl, a long dead friend of Ruin's sister, can bask in the limitless anonymity generously provided by infrathin.
Infinity is funny like that.
What's real is real (see below). What is reconstructed is obvious. It's a way forward in a backwards direction, photoshopped (and A.I.'d) to within an inch of its life.
There was another smaller window above the door (St. Patricks), the doorway is 'real', but only one window is of interest to me, or to Ruin rather.
I like the geometric imposition, triangles and rectangles imposed on what was fundamentally chaotic, like some dilapidated preordained order, making it somewhat closer even to what it actually was, this dingy window framing abuse and possible healing.
Ruin could feel that possibility deep in the pit of his stomach, unsurprisingly more or less exactly where he remembered the initial intrusion of the abuse to have lodged, when he was a boy.
Here's a photo I took over three years ago when I still had my Nikon. Now and then I go back to old images and process them with new tools. What's unique about this images is that the pier no longer exists, it's replaced by a stronger one. With the tropical storms we get each year, the piers and docks take a beating and, as you can see, eventually need replacing.
In fact, that reminds me of the Anna Maria Island Pier. It was ruined in a hurricane last year, and it's now demolished for new construction. It will be rebuilt, along with a restaurant in about a year. I have a ton of images of the old one, so maybe I'll repost one this week.
Images are memory aids. Without the pictures, we would forget the things from the past. When finding this picture in the backlog, I forgot for a minute where I had taken it. I'm so used to the new pier that I almost forgot how the old one looked. Pictures are like vitamins for the memory or some such thing.
Navigational Chart (Rebbllib)
Marshallese people, Marshall Islands, 19th-early 20th century
Coconut midrib, fiber
1978.412.826
In the Marshall Islands, navigation was, and remains, a crucial skill on which the lives of the navigators and all who sailed with them depended. In the past, knowledge of the art of navigation was a closely guarded secret, handed down within certain chiefly families. To assist in recalling and imparting aspects of navigational knowledge, navigators constructed diagrams representing different portions of the archipelago. Typically made from the stick-like midribs of coconut palm fronds, these objects were memory aids, created for personal use or to instruct novices, and the exact significance of each was known only to its maker. The charts were exclusively used on land, prior to a voyage. To carry one at sea would put a navigator's skill in question.
The charts indicate the positions of islands, but they primarily record features of the sea. Marshallese navigation was based largely on the detection and interpretation of the patterns of ocean swells. Much as a stone thrown into a pond produces ripples, islands alter the orientation of the waves that strike them, creating characteristic swell patterns that can be detected and used to guide a vessel to land. It is the pressence and intersection of swells and other marine phenomena, such as currents, that are primarily indicated on the charts.
The Bathroom, 1932
Oil on canvas, 47 5/8 x 46 1/2" (121 x 118.2 cm).
Pierre Bonnard (French, 1867-1947)
The scene is the bathroom of Bonnard's own home and the woman naked at her toilette is the artist's wife, Marthe, accompanied in the foreground by their dog, Pouce. Although Marthe appears in many of Bonnard's paintings, seldom is her face fully visible. Bonnard painted his unstretched canvases from memory, aided only by small sketches as memory aids. His technique and his use of color were indebted to Impressionism, but the independence of the paint and surface and the high-pitched hues of color in this work were in deep accord with the latest modernist practices.

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) was founded in 1929 and is often recognized as the most influential museum of modern art in the world. Over the course of the next ten years, the Museum moved three times into progressively larger temporary quarters, and in 1939 finally opened the doors of its midtown home, located on 53rd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in midtown.
MoMA's holdings include more than 150,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, photographs, architectural models and drawings, and design objects. Highlights of the collection inlcude Vincent Van Gogh's The Starry Night, Salvador Dali's The Persisence of Memory, Pablo Picasso's Les Demoiseels d'Avignon and Three Musicians, Claude Monet's Water Lilies, Piet Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie, Paul Gauguin's The Seed of the Areoi, Henri Matisse's Dance, Marc Chagall's I and the Village, Paul Cezanne's The Bather, Jackson Pollack's Number 31, 1950, and Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans. MoMA also owns approximately 22,000 films and four million film stills, and MoMA's Library and Archives, the premier research facilities of their kind in the world, hold over 300,000 books, artist books, and periodicals, and extensive individual files on more than 70,000 artists.

Don't miss his other valuable #tips 🍁 for the exam 😉.
The 2012 3RRRFM/Intrepid Travel trip was a big learning curve for me, camera and photography wise. I was trying not to be too much of a shutterbug (pretty sure I failed at that!) and also thought that I had to stash memories to revisit in a future that was likely not going to involve further international travel.
Years later, I can be more relaxed about it, but I am really glad I did take heaps of piccys, 'cos it's loads of fun revisiting them now and plugging them in as memory aids. (Though I still haven't been overseas, again.) Apart from dropping the camera onto a concrete floor at once stage, I also made the rookie mistake of not checking the camera before going OS and it turned out that the sensor was on the way out, when I was! So, many of the piccys require a fair bit of post-processing, and plain old cleaning up. I try not to mess with the colour much though, or the brightness, as we did get the occasional dull day, even in searingly sunny Vietnam. Besides, it does kind of fairly represent my tinted perspective from behind my polarized glasses.
Anyway, here we are at Ba Đình Square, in central Hanoi, and the amusing non-story about this picture is that we breezed through there around about midday. We didn't go inside Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum, and totally missed the morning and evening flag raising/lowering ceremony, performed at 6.00 am and 9.00 pm.
So, we never saw the troop of 34 immaculately turned out, white uniformed soldiers of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Guard High Command, representing the first 34 soldiers of the People Army of Vietnam (PAVN).
As they march to the 29 metre tall flagpole, reverently bearing the military flag, they are accompanied by the music of the song, "Move Under The Military Flag". Then, when they raise or lower the flag, the music changes to the National Anthem.
"Tiến Quân Ca" = "Army March" was written and composed by Văn Cao (1923-1995) in 1944, and was adopted as the national anthem of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam in 1945.
"Armies of Vietnam, forward!
With one single determination to save our Father land,
Our hurried steps resound on the long and arduous road.
Our flag, red with the blood of victory, bears the spirit of the country.
The distant rumbling of the guns mingles with our marching song.
The path to glory is built by the bodies of our foes.
Overcoming all hardships, together we build our resistance bases.
Ceaselessly for the People’s cause let us struggle,
Let us hasten to the battlefield!
Onward! All together advancing!
For one eternal Vietnam."
The sixth line was originally even more, um... fierce!
“We swear to flay the enemies and drink their blood” I'm not surprised the National Assembly changed it in 1955....
There is a second verse, though it's not part of the official National Anthem, it is, as is the tradition, equally patriotic
"Soldiers of Vietnam, forward!
The gold star afluttering
Leading the people of our native land out of misery and suffering.
Let us join our efforts in the fight to build a new life.
Arise and break these chains.
For too long have we swallowed our hatred.
Be ready for all sacrifices and life will be radiant.
Ceaselessly for the People’s cause, let us struggle,
Let us hasten to the battlefield!
Onward! All together advancing!
For one eternal Vietnam."
Now, during the evening flag lowering ceremony, as they march, the Guard is accompanied by the song: "Bác vẫn cùng chúng cháu hành quân" = "You are still marching with us, Uncle Ho."
Composed by Huy Thục
"On the road to the campaign tonight,
Endless waves of troops following the Uncle’s path!
Thousands of flowers bloom for your victory,
Dedicated to the Party with a belief in Unity!
Victory Banner, Golden Star,
Shining, guide us along the path!
March, we advance to liberate the South,
Where our countrymen remain oppressed!
There we will fight,
Drive them all out,
It is His command!
Fight for our homeland so our people can sing, united!
He and his children went to the campaign long ago,
The jungles remember, the spring displays your shadow!
The advancing troops followed like a waterfall,
As his words echoed beneath the trenches of Điện Biên !
The troops today,
Still proudly wave the Red Banner that He gave!
March, we advance to liberate the South,
Where our countrymen remain oppressed!
There we will fight,
Drive them all out,
It is His command!
Fight for our homeland so our people can sing, united!
On the road to the campaign tonight,
Endless waves of troops following the Uncle’s path!
Thousands of flowers bloom for your victory,
Dedicated to the Party with a belief in Unity!
Victory Banner, Golden Star,
Shining, guide us along the path!
As our Uncle Calls,
Our whole nation responds!
Raise your bayonets, for an advance to victory!
A treacherous road lies ahead,
Across the deep abysses reminiscent of our rage!
Our beloved South!
Let us wave the Crimson Banner!
March, we advance to liberate the city,
To crush the positions of the invaders!
For Independence and freedom,
To achieve eternal happiness,
To reach out beyond the springs,
Our dear Uncle is with us on the campaign!
Our dear Uncle is with us on the campaign..."
President Hồ Chí Minh died in 1969, well before the end of the Second South East Asian War, but as you may know, several of the T54/55 tanks that rolled into then Hồ Chí Minh City/Saigon in 1975 carried banners that read "You are still marching with us, Uncle Ho."
Looking through my pictures, I found a couple that did show the star on the flag, but whimsically decided that it made more sense to post this half-obscured one, since I'd missed the ceremony anyway.
It also reminds me a little bit of the furled cape of some super hero clinging to the pole! No, I don't think it's Mantis from Marvel Comics. Mantis, by the way, is now depicted as an actual alien in Guardians Of The Galaxy, instead of being half-Vietnamese and half-German, and born in Huế. Either way, she never wore a cape, or generally much else, as I recall.
Psychogeographic Map of Venice - From Stazione di S. Lucia to Piazza S. Marco. The most direct path through the labyrinth of Venice becomes lost within the density of the city. The path, which is in fact serpentine and narrow, crosses the sestiere via the fondamente and campi, in essence the centres of the hundreds of neighbourhoods that make up Venice. One cannot traverse the city more than once without developing an individual map within the mind, of memory aids. Thus the direct route becomes more complex, but also more imaginative.
Apollo 15 pre-mission documentation photo of crew preference decals, added as memory aids to various control panels within both spacecraft, in this case Command Module Endeavour.
Per the Apollo Flight Journal:
"Control panel 230 was added to [the "J" Missions] CM to enable control of the new SIM bay experiments, which included the Lunar Mapping Camera to activate/deactivate camera heaters and functions, compensate for image motion and extend/retract the camera on its deployment rails. For the Panoramic Camera the panel was used to activate/deactivate camera heaters, supply/remove primary camera power, select operate/standby operation modes, supply film roller torque to prevent slack in film during launch and maneuvers, activate a five-frame film advance cycle if the camera was not operated in a 24-hour period, increase/decrease the width of the exposure slit, and select the stereo or monoscopic mode of operation. This panel was primarily operated by the Command Module Pilot (CMP). Also included on this panel was a power switch to activate the scientific data system information collection and processing equipment. Another switch on this panel activates the remote checkout of the scientific data system frequency generating equipment by the ground."

THE IROQUOIS INDIANS OF NEW YORK: THE MAN'S WORLD
The man's role in the Iroquois community was provider of fish and game, warrior, housebuilder, and craftsman, especially in the production of wooden items. He played a major part in the political and religious life of the community. He taught his sons the skills needed for adulthood. There was leisure time for games of lacrosse and contests at archery or snow-snake.
MALE ATTIRE
From prehistoric times until the first few years following European contact, the Iroquois utilized garments of tanned deer skins, ornamented with moose hair and porcupine quills. However, early in the 17th century Dutch, French and English traders began to furnish the Iroquois with European cloth which they promptly adapted to their own use. The costume of the Iroquois man, for the last hundred years or more, consisted of a shirt or coat, leggings, clout, moccasins and headdress. Instead of a clout or loincloth, a short kilt was frequently substituted.
OF SILVER
Silverwork was first introduced to the Iroquois by the French and Dutch traders in the 17th century. Shortly afterward the Iroquois began to make their own ornaments. Soon they were among the most skilled Indian silversmiths in North America. Each village had its own craft specialist who enjoyed considerable wealth and prestige.
The first Iroquois ornaments were made from silver coins and "peace" medals, but "German Silver" became later on the most popular material for making ornaments. "German Silver" is an alloy of nickel, copper and zinc. it is more durable than silver and less costly. It closely resembles the more precious metal, but often lacks its luster. "German silver" was processed in the same manner as silver coins and medals. The metal was pounded out on an anvil. Then it was cut into patterns with metal punches and chisels and decorated with incised, embossed, or openwork designs. The incised or engraved designs included dots; fine zigzags; straight and curved lines; tiny triangles; sun, moon, and star symbols; hearts and diamonds. Motifs on many brooches were carried over directly from European designs. The cross became popular after the coming of the Jesuits in 1654, but had only decorative significance to the Iroquois.
Brooches were the most numerous silver items produced, and were used to fasten and decorate the costumes of both men and women. They were fastened to the item by passing the tongue, which was attached to the inside of the brooch, through the cloth. Brooches were also attached to ribbons, headbands, sashes, and to cradle boards. The number of brooches worn by an individual indicated his wealth and social position.
RECREATION AND GAMES
The Iroquois enjoyed playing team and individual sports, among which lacrosse and snow-snake were the favorite ones. Lacrosse was played with racquets of wood with leather netting and deerskin balls. There were usually from six to eight players on a team and the object was to advance the ball across the opponents goal which consisted of two tall upright poles. The object of the game of snow-snake was to see which player could slide the hickory stick farthest along the crust of the snow. Wagers always accompanied these contests. The bow and arrow was used in archery contests as well as for hunting and warfare. The Iroquois arrows were unusual in having but two feathers which were bound to the shaft with a twist so as to make the arrow revolve in its flight.
WAMPUM
Of the variety of beads produced by the Iroquois, the wampum beads were most significant. Many kinds of shell beads, including European imitations, have been called wampum, but the true wampum bead is unique.
True wampum beads were made only by Indians. They were formed from the shells of salt-water clams and conches and were narrow and cylindrical in shape with an average length of one-quarter inch and a thickness of one-eighth inch. A hole was drilled through the center for stringing. Only two colors, purple and white, were used. The white was symbolic of peace. The purple had political significance and was the most prized. It is believed that wampum was not used in prehistoric times, but that its manufacture was possible only after European iron tools were introduced.
Besides its use as ornaments, wampum was also used as a form of money. Until 1693 wampum beads, either in strings or loose, served as currency between the Dutch and English traders and the Iroquois. Smaller strings were used for minor inter-tribal transactions. The use of wampum as money for trade with the Indians prompted the Europeans to copy and manufacture large numbers of these beads.
In addition to their use as currency, strings of wampum were used to convey inter-tribal messages, to exchange at condolence ceremonies, and for other social and religious purposes.
Wampum was also made into belts which were used as seals of friendship and sincerity at the signing of treaties. Belts were woven from beads set in strands of sinew, leather, vegetable fiber, or string. Finished belts averaged five to six inches in width and were from one to six feet long. Older belts averaged about two thousand beads with later ones numbering as many as ten thousand.
Designs on belts included hollow squares, hexagons, diamonds, triangles, crosses, pipes, trees, and human and animal figures. These designs were used in symbolic and narrative patterns and told a story of some event in Iroquois history such as the signing of a treaty. A ceremony called the "reading of the archives"" was performed with these belts in which the "keeper" related the meanings of the symbols and recounted the events which they symbolized. In this pictorial way the Iroquois preserved their history for many generations.
THE LEAGUE OF THE IROQUOIS
The League of the Iroquois was formed about 1570 to establish lasting peace among Iroquois tribes and with the warring Algonquins. It was governed by a council consisting of 50 chiefs divided into three groups: the Elder Brothers (the Mohawk and Seneca), the Younger Brothers (the Cayuga and Oneida), the Fire Keepers (the Onondaga). A proposal was debated by each brotherhood separately, and if disagreement resulted the Fire Keepers decided the vote. The council was presided over by a temporary speaker elected by acclamation. Any misuse of government was checked by the recall of unsatisfactory chiefs.
The Iroquois had a uniquely democratic government with nomination, election, recall and woman suffrage. Through this governmental organization the tribes gained strong political and military power throughout the Eastern Woodland area.
The Iroquois in Wisconsin: People of the Standing Stone (Oneida)
After the Revolutionary War, American settlers pressured New York Oneida Indians for their tribal lands. In 1821 the Menominee Nation honored a request for land in Wisconsin from not only the Oneida but the Munsee, Stockbridge, and Brother-town. Some Oneida decided to stay in New York while others, following the reverend Eleazer Williams, a charismatic part-Mohawk missionary, migrated to Wisconsin in 1822. This was the first of several small migrations that continued through the 1820s. Today, there are over 14,000 Oneida in Wisconsin with the majority living on their reservation near Green Bay or in the surrounding area.
CONDOLENCE CANE (Replica)
Wooden canes like this were used as a memory aid by the ritual singers chanting the Eulogy to the founders of the League of the Iroquois. The front of the cane bears panels of pegs with corresponding pictographs symbolizing the titles of the 30 chiefs of the League Council. Titles are spaced according to the clans and nations they represent, from the Mohawk at the head, through Oneida, Onondaga, and Cayuga, to Seneca at the tip. The reverse side of the cane depicts the phrases beginning the Eulogy ____ chanted in the Condolence ritual installing? a new man? to the title of a deceased chief.
Andrew Spragg, a famous Cayuga ritual singer, was the last to use this cane about 1924. Beginning the ____ he chanted the 18 phrases shown on the reverse of the cane, then turned it to call out the titles of the Founders, pressing? his thumb on each peg as he went down the roll. Curved canes as memory aids are probably 19th century Iroquois innovations made possible by the use of jackknives. In earlier times, wampum beads or barrels of corn were counted out in calling the roll of the Founders.
For those that are curious about the notes affixed to the clip board in the cockpit, They area memory aids to the crew as follows:
*Passengers 201# Pilots 195# are standard weights + luggage
*BOW stands for Basic Operating Weight. It is the aircraft + crew + ships stores, etc. An aid to a quick weight build-up.
*ASC 029A is an operational authorization issued by the FAA.
*MRGW is Maximum Runway Gross Weight, or max taxi weight.
*MTGW is the maximum take-off gross weight allowed.

Personalised memory aids,
Julie McCullough, Rehabilitation Coach, South Eastern Health and Social Care Trust
The foremost intellectual achievement of ancient man in the New World was realized in Middle America: a system of hieroglyphic writing and an accurate recorded calendar. These attributes of civilization were absent in the Central Andes. In Middle America, hieroglyphs and calendars were intimately related to religious concepts, and each graphic element featured deities or sacred symbols.
WRITING
The ancient Olmecs possibly invented writing in the first millennium before Christ, but the Classic-period Maya perfected the hieroglyphic system. Inscriptions were carved on stone monuments and also drawn on fold-out books of deerskin or lime-coated bark paper. Only three Maya books survived the ravages of time and the purges of the first Spanish missionaries.
Other systems of writing evolved in Middle America such as the Mixtec and Aztec. Many of these post-Classic period books, or "codices", have survived and they display a more simplified picture-writing.
MAYA HIEROGLYPHS
Only about 20% of Maya hieroglyphs have yet been deciphered, and most of the translated hieroglyphic characters pertain to the calendar. Some 400 discrete Maya hieroglyphs are known. They are basically ideographic (pictures representing units of meaning), but also have attached phonetic elements(expressing linguistic sounds). Other than the calendrical content of the inscriptions, many are esoterically religious, and some are straightforwardly historical.
BOOKKEEPING DEVICE IN THE CENTRAL ANDES: THE QUIPU
The closest approach to recording knowledge in ancient Peru was the use of an assemblage of knotted cords called quipu. Variously colored strings with differently tied knots were used as memory aids for recording numerical quantities of material goods in the fashion of bookkeeping. They were also used for taking censuses of populations. For any particular quipu we don't know if they were tabulating llamas, potatoes, beans, or people.
CALENDAR
The basic calendrical and notation system was probably invented by the Olmecs in order to predict seasonal changes for the benefit of agriculture. It was later elaborated by the Maya into an exceedingly complex ritual system. Other recorded calendars were used in Middle America, but all have in common:
The bar(for 5) and dot(for 1)...
Vigesimal counting (by twenties)...
A solar year (8 "months" of 20 days, plus an unlucky 5-day "month" to equal 365 days)...
A simultaneous "sacred year" of 260 days (the 20 day names in 13 revolutions)...
A 52-year "Calendar Round" (the interlocking solar and sacred calendrical cycles which both start over on the same day once every 52 years)...
The Maya are credited with using the concept of the zero before it was invented in the Old World. The Maya also had accurate supplementary Lunar and Venus calendars, as well as tables of eclipses. These calculations necessitated advanced mathematics and sophisticated astronomical observations. The calendar in common use in Middle America was astronomically more correct than the Julian calendar then available to Europeans.
"CALENDAR ROUND"
Only once every 52 years do the cycles of the 260-day sacred year and 365 day solar year mesh precisely at the same day, and start over again in endless revolutions.
The Maya did not visualize cog wheels, but they did keep close account of the intermeshing of the two simultaneous calendars.
MAYA CALENDRICAL INSCRIPTIONS
The Maya were fascinated by time, and recognized patron deities for each of the 20 named days and the 19 named months of the solar year, as well as years in multiples of 20. Each unit was represented by a glyph portraying the mythological patron deity, and a bar-and-dot number. Each calendrical date was recorded in a so-called Initial Series, or Long Count. This consisted of five positions, such as 9.17.0.0.0, which means:
9 Baktuns (9x400 years of 360 days)...
17 Katuns (7 x 20 years of 360 days)...
0 Tuns ("no" years of 360 days)...
0 Uinals ("no" months of 20 days)...
0 Kins ("no" days)...
...from the fictitious starting point of the calendar. Inscriptions are ordered in two vertical columns read left to right, top to bottom. The accepted correlation of the Maya calendar to the Christian calendar would place the Maya year 1 at 3113 BC. Therefore the inscription 9.17.0.0.0. translates to 770 AD.
ABC for Book Artists. This is a meander book that was designed in PageMaker. The font is California FB. Decorative and cardstock papers, beads, and embroidery threads were used. Original poetry completes the book which has three hidden letters defined by a bead and tucked away in little pockets.
The abecedarium is an ancient poetic form guided by alphabetical order. Generally, each line or stanza begins with the first letter of the alphabet and is followed by the successive letter until the final letter is reached. The earliest examples are found in Hebrew religious poetry. Today, abecedarians are most commonly written as word games and memory aids for children. This A to Z follows the style of Edward Gorey's The GashylycrumbTinies.

Joseph Mallord William Turner was cole-brated for his images of Venice, despite only Visiting the city three times between 1819 and 1840, In contrast to Canaletto's precision, Turner's depictions were freely rendered and atmospheric, portraying the city's magnificent architecture, glittering water, and ever-changing skies bathed in colorful, diffused light, After Turner's death, John Ruskin, a devoted admirer, lamented that sunshine and sky had lost their great witness,
These watercolor studies exemplity the deli. cate, expressive effects for which Turner was known, Created on-site, sometimes from a gondola or from his hotel room window, they served as memory aids when he worked on paintings back in his studio,
Monet first saw Turner's work in London in 1870, and the English artist remained a signiticant artistic reference point for him, images like these likely came to Monet's mind during his own Venetian sojourn,

This is one of the most notable paintings from Morrice’s first trip to Cuba in 1915. It is characteristic of the habit he had long-since established in his practice of observing urban life from a café. A photograph of a very similar view from the inside of the Café el Pasaje was found in one of Morrice’s sketchbooks, indicating that he used photographs as memory aids in his later years.

I am confused whether my earliest memory was of playing in pittsburgh or tying string around the house in Indianapolis. The reason I'm confused is because of the home movies we have. There is a video of me playing around our house in pittsburgh when I was about 4 years old. We didn't have any movies from Indianapolis. I can be sure I remember Indy because of the lack of photographic evidence. But because photos may have put memories in my head, I cannot be sure about Pittsburgh.
This is an interesting Dilema with photographs. It is the same with writing. If one takes a creative approach to a story, the 'truth' of the event could be eroded over time. And b using photographs as memory aids or even memory replacements, the past is altered in a different way.
