Most photographs are created because something matters to us now. A family is together. Someone is at a particular age. A relationship looks and feels a certain way.
There is something about this point in life that makes us decide it is worth photographing. But I think one of the most interesting things about photographs is that we rarely know what they will eventually become.
The image someone chooses because they love an expression may later be the one that shows exactly how their child used to reach for them.
A portrait that feels like an image of three generations today may eventually hold an entirely different weight.
Even the details we barely notice now have a way of becoming important when they are no longer part of everyday life.
We create photographs from what we know today. Sometimes it takes years before we understand everything they were holding for us.
