Peripheral Vision

[rinue]

When I was a kid, I had a really awful camera. Not only was it hideously boxy and meant only for snapshots, but it had a number of fatal flaws -- any one of which would be damning -- which when taken together mean that maybe one photo from every three rolls is viewable. Not only are they horribly blurry, but the viewfinder was so far from the lens that most shots cut off heads or bodies and one can never really be sure what I was looking at, (assuming one can even identify the picture). As a result, the few clear shots are accidental, the framing unusual, the subject matter unintended.

What strangely accurate stand-ins for memory.
