Photograph Definition: A photograph is a shallow map of the play of light upon surface, a deep record of time, place and human experience, and a re-presentation of the familiar in a form that enables us to see our world in ways we might not otherwise have imagined. No really. I wouldn't just make that up.

Notes in the Margins of the Universal Time Machine

"The river flows into the sea, and yet the sea is not filled."

We live our lives in the distant past of the distant future... if humanity has a distant future.

Right here, right now will be long ago and far away before too long.

How will future generations (should they cast their minds back to the early 21st century) imagine our lives, our choices, our cities, and our reality?

What would we choose to tell the people of the future, and would the messages and images we choose deserve any privillege over those we conveyed accidentally or sought to conceal?

Instructions for Time Travel - Step 1: Build a model of the present before it all slips away.

World of the future, these are the streets of my time, as they passed before my camera, long long ago.
