A slice from time (present) to stir memory (past) and imagination (future)

by imagist on March 27, 2008

“…photographs open doors into the past but they also allow a look into the future.” — Sally Mann

Really? How so Sally? Don’t think so. Capture the precise present in the present that’s the remarkable thing about the still photograph – right then and there – done – after the exposure the photograph becomes an archaeological record – something to stir the memory and/or imagination – oops – maybe that’s what she meant – if a photograph stirs the imagining rather than the memory – does that bring a glimpse of the future? Perhaps so.
