I’m a bit behind on television right now. I just started catching up on Lost [Season 5] a few days ago. In the episodes so far, it’s been all about time travel. I find it interesting how they’ve progressively redefined the idea of being “lost” through the show’s seasons. At first, it was about being physically lost, and now there are some that are lost in time and place, and others who are lost in their identities.
The reason I bring this up is because going back through these images to put them together for the blog had me feeling a bit lost in time. The pictures – they feel like yesterday and long ago all wrapped into the present. It’s easy to get so focused on making new inventive, expressive pictures; sometimes I need to be reminded of their magic.
With photography, I feel that every day I am taking part in something that is far beyond me but also very much intrinsic to me. In a sense, getting lost is part of getting found. Things settle and then change, spurring me back on the journey to discover (i.e. uncover) that which has always been there, which is me. Constantly different and constantly the same. Fragile, yet resilient. Here in this moment, but also in the memories of the past and hopes of the future.
This trip to Hong Kong and Korea is one of my stories. Some of the pictures are repeats of things I have already shared, but I believe they are a little bit different when presented in full context.
I absolutely LOVE these!
they are pretty awesome :D
