Dick & Ann’s 25th Anniversary. June, 1973.
This is a water-damaged slide from June, 1973, from a set of Kodachrome slides labeled “Dick & Ann’s 25th Anniversary.” It’s from a large set of hundreds of slides from an Ohio family. Events such as parties, anniversaries, birthdays and other milestones are recorded while commonplace reality is left to forgotten discussions among the people seen hoisting wine goblets at parties and lolling poolside at Florida motels. The water damage is not particularly egregious but enough to create the illusion of a horrid, ghastly beast that lurks just below the surface of all things, wrestling with the surface of reality to unleash its brutal yawp.
