"I am a large specimen, dating back maybe thirty years or more."

Photography is there for all of us. Images are present in our lives in many ways. There are snapshots of far-away relatives tucked into the corners of a mirror at home and there are images of personal expression or overt persuasion all around us on our walls, aesthetic reminders of our own peculiar notions of beauty, chaos or any other of thirty three emotional flavors. We keep shrines to places and people so that they are not forgotten. We have albums cataloging the years we were together or the places we have been or drawers full of random memories which mean the world to those whose lives are found there but perhaps little to the rest of us on the outside, because we have our own, somewhere.
