I also did a bad job taking photos of the event, and of my submissions. My friend, Kat, is the only witness who can testify I actually submitted and went to this shindig. Making copies of photos at Staples was not fun, and certainly not cheap... which sucks. Because I'd like to make more copies to sell at other events. On a positive note, I enjoyed looking at all types of photo zines of cityscapes to conceptual narratives.
Anyway, here is my first photo zine, or rather parts of it. It's about my grandma and the house she had to leave behind because of Alzheimer's disease. Of course, I included a Susan Sontag quotation in the introduction to add dramatic effect and context. Susan Sontag is good for such things and putting photography into a sociological perspective.
This is the quotation I included:
"To take a photograph is to participate in another person's mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time's relentless melt."
