Geoffrey Batchen's essay about the wonderful Lost & Found Project (Japan) can be found HERE. He writes:
"This is also why we look at such pictures, always with fascination, and even when, as here, there is nothing much to see, nothing but a residue of the desires of others. Like them, we too take photographs in order to deny the possibility of death, to stop time in its tracks and us with it. But that very same photograph, by placing us indisputably in the past, is itself a kind of mini-death sentence, a prediction of our ultimate demise at some future time."
Batchen is one of my all time favorites.
