In chronological order:

1. and 7. Changi Beach Sunset 2013, Fong Qi Wei and- Piazza San Marco in Venice, 2015 Richard Silver – I found these photos compelling as it is not only a photo highlighting time passage but also a composite image that is organized in such a clear and precise way that my eyes can read the photo as a single image while recognizing that it is not.
2. House and Car (Close View) near Akron, Alabama 1985, William Christenberry – I enjoy the historical aspect of Christenberry’s series. There is something interesting about seeing how the south is decaying through photography. It calls into question for me, what does city/town/neighborhood decay look like? Especially to those who are not from the area but are mere observers?
3.  The Spirit Leaves the Body 1968, Duane Michaels – This photo scared me and also made me think about death, particularly what I think it looks like. I then started to imagine is this how I or my loved ones would look like? It evokes a lot of fear from me and kind of makes me dwell on the concept of death.
4.  March on Washington 1963, Jason E Powell (date unknown) – I love using past photographs of historical events/locations to highlight the space in a contemporary context. I immediately thinking about change.
5. 6. and 10. The Brown Sisters, Nicholas Nixon 1975/2014 and The Arrow of Time 2011, Diego Goldberg  – I am obsessed with Nixon’s project. There is something really interesting about capturing the same group of people over the course of 20 years. Being able to see the details of their faces change is striking for me.

8. From Tom Hussey’s “Reflections” series (date unknown) – This is an interesting documentation of time passage that is also a narrative. I read the photo as the old woman having a caretaker, but in her reflection she sees her hold self — in which she used to be a caretaker too. This propels the current caretaker to see herself as the old woman. Really great commentary on generations and the concept of getting old.
9. Flatiron 2010, Stephen Wilkes – I’m a New Yorker and I loved this image of this city landmark split between day and night. It also reminds me of what I think is the most uncomfortable/creepy photo I have ever studied Edward Steichen’s “Flatiron Building.”
