Sometimes, I can almost feel Aaron with me. I have woken up once or twice to find myself sleepily saying good morning to him on my empty pillow. When I'm walking home at night, I leave an Aaron-sized space next to me on the pavement, and sometimes I swear I can feel his hand in mine. I think perh...

Back in the age of film photography, 35mm slides were everywhere. Whether they were in stacked in yellow Kodak boxes or something else, most photographers had lots of slides. Slides are a lot scarcer now that digital has taken over though. But if you have an old slide mount lying around still, go...
