The photographic process is one where the camera <strong>take</strong>s a picture of a<br />

moment in time. It is temporal, and yet those posing <strong>for</strong> photographs<br />

often want a picture to immortalise them in some way; to capture who<br />

they think they should be. There is a peculiar contradiction in these<br />

two things: One of the moment, and the other captured <strong>for</strong> all time.<br />

And yet so often these pictures of ourselves are less than we would<br />

wish them to be. In our attempt to capture the best picture of<br />

ourselves we fall short of that ideal picture, that picture which<br />

immortalises us. This is as much the case now as it was in the past<br />

be<strong>for</strong>e the mass digital imagery explosion of back facing cameras on<br />

smartphones.
