Shack

VRS
“Shack was often described as larger than life, irrepressible and one of a kind, and he was known for his indomitable spirit, high energy level and infectious enthusiasm. These traits co-existed with a genuine kindness, a quiet gentleness, a genteel demeanor and a generous and joyful heart. It is his heart for which he will be most remembered.”

But this one, I remember the microwave, the corded phone, the linoleum, the coffee pot, the can of French Market, the hanging pans, the hanging light-bulb, the cabinet doors with a rubber band spanning the handles to keep them closed.

Oh! What was a contact sheet? Expose and develop a roll of film. Cut the film into strips. Lay the negative strips on a sheet of photo paper. Shine light through the negatives. Develop the sheet of paper. Contact sheet! Multiple positive images from the exposed film.
