Forgotten a bunch of it? The question does not apply to those under 40. For the rest of us, with lots of things to remember, how’s the memory going?
I was going through my photo collection. There was a collection of what we got on the farm share. There was a time when I photographed t-shirts because I could limit myself to black, beer t-shirts and I had too many. Of course, there’s a collection of photos for each trip, Mexico, Bali, Beijing, La Manga and Barcelona, and another to Buenos Aries and Bogota. There was a collection of photos for FredFest and feet and just wandering around.
I started to create a personal history of just photography. And then there’s looking at the images. Who has enough wall space to hang up all the memories?
When I get done with that, or done enough, I’ll work on another history. Like my scar collection. Or my bicycling. Or my whatever I can make a list of. So I can remember.
