statement

photographs
they record events that have just happened                    
talk about events that have long since happened
call to question events that are bound to happen        
 
photographs can become the experience                  
they hold this power
they are sacred                                     
 
and photographs                                                   
they remind us of events                                                    
they can tell a different story than our own
photographs can teach
and they can confuse
they become this dichotomy            
they have this power
we hold them sacred
 
we put photographs into boxes
store them away
we pull them out later to help us remember
and they reinforce                                                         
and they confuse
they offer answers and create questions
we hold photographs sacred
then we put them back into boxes
and store them away
