I take photographs to capture the moment, the memory, the crease in a person’s face, the sparkle in their eye. But more importantly, I take photographs so that I do not forget.
I typically refer to my memory as Swiss cheese-like. It has a lot of holes. Memories for me are triggered by smells, by sounds, by certain expressions. Without those triggers and my photographs, I’m not sure what I’d moments I’d hold dear.
