Exposed Memories


half of a lifetime packed away in boxes

full of photographs and slides...  hundreds

of rolls of film threaded into cameras and

exposed, either over or under, in attempts

to be creative...  looking at the contact

sheets first to select the right one to be

submitted for printing...  half of lifetime

of marriages, employments, traveling

by car to reach the location so that one's

entire time can be spent looking through

the lens of a thirty-five millimeter...  we

risk losing the sun if we stay to long or

risk losing the shadows if we don't...  it

is not a memory of people as much as it

is finding the correct exposure...  and thirty

years later when all is said and done, we

spend no time at all, looking at what has

been done since we are throwing it away.
