Mike's father, Roy, died suddenly in the early 1990s. He had been living alone. Among the small handful of things Roy left behind was a photobooth strip from the early 1970s: Roy, with Mike's older sister Katharine on his knee as a toddler, chocolate smudged around her mouth.

The photograph is one of the only surviving records of Mike’s father and his sister, who died in infancy.

Mike sharing this story was an act of trust. What remains is not just an image, but a fragment holding together two absences: a father and a sister, both gone, held for a moment in a single frame. In Mike's own words, written with the same lyrical economy he brings to his music -

"Photo Booth. Father Roy, clean shaved, suit and tie. Sister Katharine, chocolate mouth. Frozen here, both long gone and time moved on."
