“We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.”  — Ralph Hattersley

 

When we make portraits, if we’re lucky, we find an opening — a hole in space and time — and peer through it. This is important.

We never know where our roads will turn. Years hence, we’ll all be somewhere else entirely, and maybe we’ll need to look back. We’ll think of the friends who loved us, and when, and oh, how much we loved them back. This is why we need our photographs: this is the stuff that might soften and drift away with time, because human memory is so frail and fallible. This is the way we make sure the important stuff is never really lost.
