Description
Kathy Holding Kelly is a photograph reworked by Lenore Senior and is in the Family Albums gallery. I knew Kathy and her brother, Charles, somewhat, but not as much as other cousins because we lived in the west and they were raised in Rochester, NY. Kathy was the daughter of Bea, an older (1/2) sister of my mom's. Charles loved photography and worked for Kodak and he might have taken the original photo. According to the book, True Heroines, Kathy went to work for the Sheriff's Department, and in the process of breaking up a fight between several inmates, she was injured, leading to her death 21 months later at the age of 45. Her daughter, Kelly, grew up to be a beautiful young lady who is an animal lover (like the rest of our family)! We communicate on Facebook and I am grateful to have that connection.

Wow, what an amazing interpretation of this family photo, giving it such resonance and mood! It gives the delightful baby picture a ghostly sense of loss and sadness, which is explained by means of words in the description, but powerfully present without words in your outstanding expression of the photo. What a lucky family we are to have you to bring out the feelings and meanings of our "ordinary" snapshots! fav
