“It is a cruel, ironical art, photography. The dragging of captured moments into the future; moments that should have been allowed to evaporate into the past; should exist only in memories, glimpsed through the fog of events that came after. Photographs force us to see people before their future weighed them down....”

― Kate Morton, The House At Riverton

 

 

 

 

Photo not taken by me (obviously!), but I own it (it came with a Victorian

photo album that I bought).
