A Couple of Rediscovered Photos of Abby

A couple of searches and shared memories resulted in finding these old photos of my late wife Abby.

Abby and I smile for a snapshot at a courtyard café on the east coast of Florida in the Summer of 2007. She looks so amazing in this image.

It started when my sister asked how her husband could take better pictures of her, and I reminded her of a time in 2007 when I posed, lit, and directed Abby for a portrait in my mom’s house in Florida.

I made this image of Abby in my mom's living room in Palm Coast Florida. My sister noted how well Abby posed and how natural she was in front of the camera.

We all had point-and-shoot cameras of the era when traveling, since cameras on our cell phones then were marginal at best.

My sister and I had identical Canon Powershot A560s, while Abby used an Olympus Stylus 7030a.

I don't know who suggested it, but this picture of my wife, my sister and me, made in the full-length sliding hall closet door in Mom's house in Florida, still makes me smile to this day.

Abby was always great in front of the camera.
