not a pretty picture. not a good. not a bad. picture. but an argument.

story on/from the stairs



i was just wondering how many photographs it takes to tell a story,
our story, or those who came before us.

i have liberated this from Christopher's site:

"If we were not something more than unique human beings, if each one of us could really be done away with once and for all by a single bullet, storytelling would lose all purpose. But every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world's phenomena intersect, only once in this way and never again. That is why every man's story is important, eternal, sacred; that is why every man, as long as he lives and fulfills the will of nature, is wonderous, and worthy of every consideration. In each individual the spirit has become flesh, in each man the creation suffers, within each one a redeemer is nailed to the cross." - Hermann Hesse, Demian

so then what do these photographs say about me?  what do they say about anyone?
