Vidal of Key West to Ronnie Cherry
I’M ONLY IN THE NEXT ROOM
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was,
let it be spoken without effort, without a trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was;
there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well!
Henry Scott Holland, 1847-1918,
Canon of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Community is important to me and your voice should count, but it does not. Soon there will be Elections for Keys Energy for Board of Directors…three seats are coming open. Keys Energy carries power up to the 7 mile bridge, yet rate payers that live in Key Haven, Stock Island and up to the 7 mile bridge are not allowed to vote!!! Is this fair? This is an outdated law from the 1960’s when it was City Electric…since the 60’s much has changed for the better. It has bee. Keys Energy and carries power up to the 7 mile bridge…if you are a rate payer…your vote should count yet you are discounted! The solution: We the rate payers all need to contact our State Representative Holly Merrill Roschein…to bring this up to Tallahassee so that we can update this out dated law… I have sent several emails in the past year and a half to her and her office and obviously its not important enough for them to bring to Tallahassee… I say it’s not fair you don’t have a word in voting for your Board members when you pay for the service!!! I currently sit on two different boards in Key West Florida and I am able to tell all affiliated what is happening with their dollars! You deserve the same consideration! Remember this used to be City Electric, but it has expanded and they do a beautiful job by bringing power all the way up to the 7 mile bridge… Now let’s help to change this law so that your voice can be heard! Contact Holly Merrill Raschein, she is right here on Facebook or her email is Holly@hollyraschein.com… I hope all who read this do their Community service by passing this on to everyone who is not allowed to vote…YOUR VOICE DOES COUNT!

In the tradition of throw back thursday… I bring to you the portrait of Zulema Pradas-Bergnes… This was created in the eighties and inspired by the play Phantom of the Opera opening scene on Broadway.. Scandalous at the time because I won so many awards for it as a Master Lighter… not only in the United States of America but in parts of Europe the human gargoyle brought special interest.. Underneath the table and the lighting that never ever took interest off of the bride… Hence there was no photoshop this was created like a movie scene with real props and real people in real lighting.. This weekend we celebrate the wedding of her son Pablo Pradas-Bergnes to Autumn McManus… The sacred event will take place in the family sanctuary the Basilica of Saint Marys… Wear during the wedding ceremony the beautiful new Amelia will also be baptized… For generations people have trusted Vidal to capture their memories for a lifetime…. For over 35 years continuous learning education, studies and always eager to know the latest techniques Vidal continues to bring people not only fresh new images for a lifetime to come but portraits and photography that are guaranteed not to fade! There will be way too much to post here in one blog so stay tuned for some of the most beautiful images of one of the most beautiful memories to be captured here in Key West… This is what Key West is all about.. life, blessings and the heart.. Call Vidal to book your family event guaranteed to please generations to come!
