0013 This Series Is A Hurt and A Joy: "I miss them now."
Thursday, November 18, 2010 at 8:27PM If I were to show you a fleeting, dark glimpse of your wife, husband, sister, brother, mother, father
you would still, in that instant, be able to not only identify the person, but also, in many cases the
whole unseen scene, including the mood, expression, place, task...even the very thought.

Only you can do this. This is the level of knowledge born of intimacy. A rush of feelings may also
come into presence. I shot these with the dirty lens of a 'new' 1950 Kodak Brownie Hawkeye, my
constant muse, with this thought in mind. One day, I won't be able to look at these (well, certainly
not the one of me, above, by definition.) and keep any sort of composure...too many stories.
So, I'll show them here... now: "I miss them now."

This is really beautiful work, Eric. You've created this intimate space in the photos that unlocks memory in the present. Bravo my friend!
