"Representation takes place in the gap between absence and desire. But that doesn't mean that the desired never existed, was never glimpsed; what is lost may not have been lacking." -- Mira Schor, Wet

These are personal photos.
I took them because I wanted to.
They are photos from my life, arranged chronologically.
Each represented something important to me at the time,
and still important to me now.

They are, probably, a catalog of desire
although what exactly is being desired is not always obvious,
not even to me.

There is a right way and a wrong way to view them.

The right way is to start at the beginning and work your way through because each photo is somehow related to the next and together, in order, they probably tell a story.

The wrong way is to bounce around using the thumbnail galleries. That would be like reading random sentences from a book. Any sense of narrative is lost. I've provided thumbnail galleries anyhow, for those who just want to look at pretty pictures.

If you think your own life isn't full of photos like these,
you probably just haven't been paying enough attention.
