Cultural Taxidermy

because things never last forever. Time, as the individual perceives it is never infinite. We may last for another day, or perhaps another year. If we're lucky maybe half of a century, but eventually, we too shall be swept away.

Photos are like culture's form of taxidermy. They capture our moments together, a perfect window into a still of the past. A moment in time locked forever one a piece of paper. And then someday when we are no longer here, when our voices can no longer convey our stories, they will tell them for us. And the stories might be misintepreted. They might be mistold... but... as long as they exist, as long as people may still look upon them. They will tell ONE STORY. ONE STORY that will remain forever true...

 That we once existed...
that we once loved...
that we once were...
