It is a cruel, ironical art, photography. The dragging of captured moments into the future moments that should have been allowed to be evaporate into the past should exist only in memories, glimpsed through the fog of events that came after.

Ah, well. Life's too short for moderation, wouldn't you say?

She's one of the few people able to look beyond the lines on my face to see the twenty-year-old who lives inside.

Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down, before they knew their endings.
