Memory Capturer Prints

Social lens of the photojournalist

"As usual, you cut everyone's head off in the photos you took."

I'm not good with names but never forget a face. Of course, that's not very useful right now.

That midnight hour when fleeting memories come home to roost.

Lady to man taking picture of fish: 'Wiggle him a little and get him to smile.'

Cut out and keep your own Marcel Proust.

Attic of hopes and dreams...

"Man, these closed book exams suck! Who could possibly remember all this crap?"

A boy with a camera

'Remember when we caught small fish by the bucket full?' 'Oh, yeah! Those were the dace!'

'It's a sad case -- amnesia AND identity theft.'

'Lost Diary'

'I've got it written down...'

"I have no idea where we parked the car, or why we exist."

'More pictures of your kids. Wow, they've really grown since yesterday.'

"I don’t know … there’s a small part of me that just wants to erase my childhood."

Hi again

Amnesia Clinic: "Take one of these pills whenever you remember to."

"...I have the oddest 'earliest memory' and I wanted to share it. It's just as wekkm I guess. Knowing some man secretly attended my first birthday party has caused me to question my parentage all these years....Especially since Mother Park made me promise not to tell Father that the potted plant was acually J. Edgar Hoover."

'Do you have anything for absent-mindedness?'

How to Improve Your Memory Seminar.

'I have your MRI results. Half your brain is clogged with passwords and the other half is clogged with user names.'

"Forget the future, tell me what happened to the past ten years."

"Jack, I'm looking through these old love letters, faded flowers and other sentimental objects meant to inspire tender memories… junk?"

"Thanks, I'll write that down."

"Why won’t you just admit you forgot where you parked the car?"

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I wish I had emotions like people do. I wish I could think as logically as people do. I'd like to take a walk along the shoreline without rusting. Storing energy in a battery rather than a pot belly would be nice. Having a sense of humor would be fun. The ability to selectively delete memories would be great to have. I wish I didn't have to worry about digital viruses. I wish I didn't have to worry about biological viruses.

Bear Office Worker

"My name is Proust. I've forgotten my room number."

'Cheese.'

"Is that Penny I smell? It's been so long... Hold on, is this Dougie? No way! That crazy mongrel, he is nuts! I remember that time he chased those kids on skateboards all the way down Cliff Street. Wait, is this Rosie?!"

'How come you keep forgetting when it's your round?'

Useless-memory lane

Argh, me forget grocery list.

"Is there a mnemonic I can use to remember how to spell mnenonic?"
