5. How does this old photo make you feel?<br />
	<br />
Sad and happy. She passed in 2001 at the age of 98. I miss her. I was named after her husband Aristide Mian who was a Parisian sculptor. She was a writer for the New Yorker magazine and they were an art couple living in France and then after WWII in Nyack, NY, and then moving to Santa Fe, NM. I feel I got my art background from him and she was very supportive in my career. I was the only one of my siblings and cousins who followed in the arts. I'm happy that this roll has been founded and developed!<br />

6. Is this what you expected to see?<br />
<br />
I had no idea what was on this film. I was a little scarred that it was an important assignment that I was hired to photograph and lost an important roll for a client or project. Thankfully this was an important roll found that had deep personal images. Most of this roll is of my family and our pets. My grandmother has since passed as our cats also so this was a nice surprise to see this roll.<br />
<br />
7. What kind of memories does this photo bring back?<br />
<br />
A lot of memories with her being my biggest fan of my work. She stayed with my family in her later years and I would see and talk to her daily. I remember her frequently writing and knitting and taking walks around my neighborhood.<br />
<br />
8. How do you think others will respond to this photo?<br />
<br />
Remind them of their loved-ones if it be a family member or a pet. We sometimes take for granted that they will always will be there.

5. How does this old photo make you feel?<br />
	<br />
A nice time down memory lane. How a little animal can bring love to a family and create a bond. I grew up with this cat and its siblings and saw them born and sadly die. How a little cat just wants and gives unconditional love.<br />

<br />
I remember watching the kittens being born and as a kid this was the first time I had seen anything been born so it was an eye opening experience. I had graduated from college and moved back in with my parents to freelance in the Washington DC area. My career had just started so I remember the confidence I was getting starting to freelance for the Washington Post and others. It was the first time I was making a significant amount of money and living at home. Within a year I had left Washington to purse a staff newspaper position out of state. This time frame was the last time I was living at home with parents other than just visiting so it has special meaning especially since my mother is turning 81 this year and her health is not as good.<br />
