Out of the Closet: A New Way of Sharing Old Media

In a dark corner of a linen closet in my family home, there sits three boxes of family photos. Photos of my mother, age twenty-five, with big kinky hair and thick blue eyeshadow, or photos of my father, age thirty, a spitting image of John Travolta in his character of Danny Zuko in Greese.

There’s even a photo of me on my sixth birthday. I’m wearing a green patterned dress and a pageboy haircut. I’m on the kitchen floor of my old house, and my eyes are red from crying.
