And if the only way out was a straight ahead admission of guilt

On Kodachrome, on memory and mortality and loss

All photographs are momento mori but Jeff Jacobson's The Last Roll is  particularly poignant and luminescent.

Stashing away all the remaining Kodakchrome stock in his freezer Jacobson held his horde like a squirrel for winter. An inconvenient cancer diagnosis made him re-evaluate his perspective and that's how The Last Roll came in to being. While recovering from chemotherapy, Jacobson took photos around his house in the Catskills, too weak to undertake any grand photographic adventures. The result is an odd but strangely charming series of images. Jacobson cites Kertesz as an influence and it shows.

Pages filled with photographic vapours, transmissions, and somnolent ambiguity. Book for sale here: http://daylightbooks.org/store/jeff-jacobson-last-roll
