But what is it ania? Is that LC, or a cardboard cut out of him? Who is in the photo within the photo? Why do you love it? So many questions. :shock:

Ha. I just noticed the 'devil fingers' above Leonard's head :lol: . Is that a grade-school photo of him? Who's on the left? I love it, too, for its intrigueing composition and the close-up of the fingers amidst it all, Ania.

Yes, "nostalgic" is what I get from it, too, Ania.

Ahhh... interesting... nostalgic, too, in that I haven't seen a photo booth in years. Do they still exist?

I was hoping the link would identify the person on the left :( .

I lived across the street from Ray Carver when I was out there.
I bought an iron from him at a yard sale
I think it must be somewhere if she will tell me where.

but in any case it is in fact a very poignant, nostalgic,
yard-sale-like scene
-of leonard moving, and then going through, a box of old stuff
-right after "...35 boxes of documents and memorabilia {were}
seized by the Los Angeles County sheriff's office from
the home of Leonard Cohen's former manager."
