"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever.... it remembers little things, long after you've forgotten everything." - Aaron Siskind side blog: https://www.sayonara97.tumblr.com

Your Parents' Photos Are Better Than Yours

As a group, we photographers remain obsessed with megapixels, light sensitivity and prime lenses. The generations before us tended to shoot with whatever was handy. Their results were better. Their photos of us as kids are grainy, out of focus, discolored and lack any logical composition. And they’re wonderful. They’re wonderful because the grain and fading give us the context of time. The lack of composition revealed monstrously huge cars, long-ago shuttered businesses and the extremely unfortunate clothing choices of anyone who happened to be passing through the frame. The paper itself may well have outlasted the lives of the people who took the photos. What would be lost if those same photos followed the modern “rules” of photography?

stop and stare

Beneath that baffling moonlight, I covered your body with my loving arms. Then we looked up, and watched the fireworks as they lit the sky- that gave vivid colors to our gloomy night. Gently, you leaned on me. I felt your soul hardly breathing. You became still- not merely moving, with your eyes closed, peacefully; then you whispered, “I will love you, forever…” The sun began to rise; created a romantic scene. How nice it was for the two of us, but sadly, it was only me who saw that moment of eternity…
