"in a stack of material i found some family photo albums, one or two of them at least fifty years old. i took them up to the bedroom. we spent hours going through them, sitting up in bed. children wincing in the sun, women in sun hats, men shading their eyes from the glare as if the past possessed some quality of light we no longer experience, a sunday dazzle that caused people in their churchgoing clothes to tighten their faces and stand at an angle to the future, somewhat averted it seemed, wearing fixed and finedrawn smiles, skeptical of something in the nature of the box camera."

Ellen Carey to be found here.

20x24 self portrait polaroids that are crisp and pretty incredible to look at. she seems like she has a strong interest in the process with her extensive pulls and abstraction work, presenting us with the raw components of what the photograph is made of, something i touched on attempting to do with a constructed negative process. she is actually an alum of KCAI, i have no idea how i've never heard of her before today.

"These pictures physically are pure photography, like Talbot- light and process only in the late 20th century as opposed to the 19th. What they represent is a challenge to our previously prescribed historical and cultural expectation that a photograph will narrate, describe, and document."
