Photography is a memorial art. It selects, out of the flow of time, a moment to capture and preserve.
It’s about retention, not only the ability to make an image out of the interaction between light and the tangible world, but also the possibility of saving that image.
Photography gives the world a way to double its own appearance.
But when the photo outlives the body and people die, scenes change. Then photos become a memorial.

Love the surreal tattoo parlor photo. Keep ’em coming.
Thanks again!
Sweet pics. I especially like the cleverness of “Role Reversal” – the child walking the mom.
