The final exhibits in this Presidential Library and Museum are titled “Mourning Ronald Reagan” and “Legacy Theatre.” This image combines the essence of both within a single frame. The mourning exhibits include many massive photographs and objects regarding the death of Ronald Reagan. The single most moving photograph in the room was a close up color shot of a weeping Nancy Reagan being consoled by her children as she clutches the flag that had covered the president’s casket. Next to that mural was a glass door, leading to an adjoining theatre that was continuously showing a black and white film on Reagan’s life and accomplishments. Using a slow shutter speed, I was able to blur a few movie frames of a smiling President Reagan floating within the window of the theatre. I link that moving image to the still photograph of the mourning family. Because the film is blurred by movement, the fragment from the motion picture now becomes more nostalgic – the stuff of memories. I also convert the large mourning image, which is actually displayed by the museum in its original color format, to black and white. It makes a better match for the moving image in the adjoining theatre. Instead of contrasting the mourners to the memories, I able to more fully link them together.
