retrieved_family II_ the baptism

This project is part of an ongoing series I have been involved with for many years. The concept of the lost and forgotten image, buried under life pressing ever forward. Here it is retrieved and recycled. Lost and found. Images of places visited, paths walked, snapshots of moments long forgotten are brought out of dusty drawers.

These are my god parents, the young man holding me, was my Uncle Chris, now lost to us. We all have family photographs we stare at, hoping a magic spell will reveal some truth about the past.
