Secret Treasures
Today, I was hunting around for things to sell in an upcoming garage sale and I came across many secret treasures, the coolest of which is featured in my photos. I found an old story I wrote as a kid. The frayed, singed edges of the paper are not something I did intentionally. They are the result of a fire. We lost our home in a fire about nearly 11 years ago and many of the things we now treasure as a family are marred by these faded firey edges. There are some things that survived and these fragments from my childhood are one of them. I wrote as a child to escape, to find a new world where imagination and happiness were as plentiful as the stars. These restless sheets are, for me, a return to that world. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!(I used a noise filter for the grainy look and also sharpened them up a little. Enlarge to see!)

Awesome images, Jayme! I love the composition and the filter effect you applied. I thought the edges looked as if they had been burned, and then was horrified to read about the fire. What a traumatic experience your family endured. Thank you for sharing this story from your heart.
