Photographs can serve as both agents and enemies of recall, often simultaneously. Consequently, taking up their inherent argument of truth can be a risky proposition if we look to them for additional clues to who we are and have been. Still, we're compelled to keep looking and in the complete absence of memory or evidence of experience we often use photographs by default when they are all that's available to build on; a questionable and daring and sometimes dangerously misguided act.
