Family Portrait

Will her photograph be printed? Or will it be banished to a server somewhere in exchange for information on her consumer habits? If it's printed, then the image will become something special. Like a fine wine, it's value will increase with age. As the years go by, the colors will shift and the paper will change in texture. These changes will confirm the reality of the moment, and it's place in time. Holding the printed photograph offers a physical connection to a moment in time. The digital file will never evoke the passage of time and family history in such a sensory and emotional manner.
