it makes me smile and, for some reason, reminds me to be carefree. that's why it's my favorite.

it sits in a plain frame, next to a penguin and a bowl of lemons. it's a black and white picture of my great-uncle jack shot sometime in the 1940s (i think) in chicago. i didn't really know him but in knew of him. he was a fascinating guy.

he's wearing a beret and has the stub of a cigarette jutting out of the corner of his mouth. his hand is a little blurry. he's sporting a tiny hint of a smirk...like a mischevious 1/2 smile or something...and it makes me wonder what he was doing and what he was thinking when the picture was taken.

i found the picture several years ago when my mom was going through some of my aunt joby's belongings. she was married to jack and she had just passed away. i fell in love with it immediately and i was happy when it became mine. my sister julie has asked for a copy because it makes her smile too. i need to get that copy made for her. maybe it can become her favorite picture as well.
