I FOUND THIS CAMERA IN MY BASEMENT – THE BASEMENT OF MY GRANDMOTHERS HOUSE; SHE WHO FORMALLY SHARED LIFE WITH MY GRANDFATHER, GEORGE SHAHWAN; HE WHO USED THIS CAMERA TO DOCUMENT HIS LIFE. IT WAS MELTED… AT FIRST… BUT I GOT IT COVERED

HERE IS MRS. FRANCES SHAHWAN. HERE SHE MAKES SURE THE TABLE IS READY, OUT OF HABIT. IT IS MUCH mORE REFLECTIVE OF HER DYANSTY THAN THE OTHERS. THERE IS SOMETHING POETIC ABOUT NOT GETTING A STILL IMAGE OF THE LITTLE LADY
