Vernacular Photos #3

 

Every picture tells a story. 

Each person's life is special in its own way. 

The digital age has made the capture and storage of media ubiquitous, but there is something about vernacular photography that feels distinctly analog - not just the nostalgia of kodachrome film or the square format, but something else more ephemeral or intangible, a sixth sense that the emulsion has captured not just the image, but a hint of the narrative as well.

Bill,

Slightly off topic, but what a beautiful writer you are. I just read through that last paragraph several times and it fell upon my ear like a perfect song. Sometimes I think I would read anything if it was well written...

And you are persuading me with your odes to vernacular photographs. There *is* a certain je ne sais quoi element to their appeal...part of me thinks they capture a certain naivete in both the subject and the person behind the camera. Perhaps less sophistication, less media saavy, which inevitably reveals more in and about the image (and, as I mentioned, the photographer), rather than the polish and ennui that now seem a standard instinct for such captured moments.

I love this vernacular set of photos you are great photographer, your taste of color is delicious.
