I picked up a camera, collected moments, developed film, studied faces, studied myself, asked questions, dug through memories, turned pages in old albums, followed the threads, documented more moments, staged images, rebuilt what was lost, searched for childhood, searched for truth, shot more pictures. Documented. Collected. Created. Pieced together fragments. Lost some. Found others.
