ENTRY DESCRIPTION
You are realizing that you are hovering between the present and the distant past while looking at this photograph. Where does the past come from? Isn't that one of your memories? I totally know that you never experience the past. Then, do your brain just make up the sense of past? But photography is to exist for testimony of our pasts. Now it seems that we are unable to trust in both ourselves and photography. Am I exaggerating?
