Today we visited the Denver Art Museum and I was totally blown away, the walls were filled with works of art from portrait style European masterpieces to contemporary art pieces. As Jenna and I admired each and every painting in the European floor, one piece in particular caught my eye, the Monet. Jenna in all her infinite wisdom, told me to stand father away from the picture to be able to see it for all its beauty. As I sat there admiring one of Monet’s legacies, I wondered what mine would be. Is there any way that 300 years from now, anyone will know who I am? I realized that unless I make an amazing scientific discovery or a masterpiece that this idea would be unreasonable. But then I thought, what about just 50 years after I pass, will anyone know me then? Since I am neither artist nor brilliant scientist, I had to find an easier way to pass myself along. Then I thought back to what Roddy had been teaching us. Photograph EVERYTHING. That way there will be carbon copy proof that I lived this life to the fullest. For this I am very thankful. My wisdom will pass on in the form of 4x6 photographs.
