“New York to San Francisco,” is part of a larger collection of double-exposures entitled, “Photographic Memory.” In this series, I re-consider the process of capturing that “decisive moment” on film and attempt instead to capture the experience of memory. Our memories are non-linear, non-binary, and even nonsensical at times. They are made up of layers upon layers of sensory information, all bound together by emotion. In these photographs, we travel into one memory of a city, a trip across the continent, and an afternoon of fleeting late autumn light within spaces that would vanish by the time the film was developed. It is a moment in time, not as I saw it, but as I remember it.
