Papi took this photo of my mother and me on the beach at Marco Island sometime in 1964. I found it tucked away in my mother’s possessions after her death in July 2015.
Alex Diaz-Granados (1963- ) began writing movie reviews as a staff writer and Entertainment Editor for his high school newspaper in the early 1980s and was the Diversions editor for Miami-Dade Community College, South Campus' student newspaper for one semester. Using his experiences in those publications, Alex has been raving and ranting about the movies online since 2003 at various web sites, including Amazon, Ciao and Epinions.
In addition to writing reviews, Alex has written or co-written three films ("A Simple Ad," "Clown 345," and "Ronnie and the Pursuit of the Elusive Bliss") for actor-director Juan Carlos Hernandez. You can find his reviews and essays on his blogs, A Certain Point of View and A Certain Point of View, Too.

Which of the two childhood photos with Mom? The one in the center, second row? Or the Marco Island one?

The Marco Island one. I also like the backstory of finding the photo among her cherished possessions! ❤

That photo certainly is nice. Until it was found, I’d never seen it before.
You can tell, too, that the beach is on the Gulf Coast because the sand is whitish. East Florida beaches tend to have more yellow-ish sand.
