time passes
When things worried me, either as a child or adult, my grandad would always say to me that ‘time passes’. Whatever seemed challenging or scary will pass – you will pass through it. It sounds simple but it is a saying that stays with me even now.
These images are memories. Not always actual events but feelings, emotions conveyed from the recess of my mind to the camera.
I have made this calender so that I can add new work.

berndt2
very thought-provoking and emotional. ‘time passes’ is a very confronting title and theme and you’ve handled it really well. A sort of similar philosophy I’ve come across on my travels is ‘nothing good lasts forever… but neither does anything bad’
Deborah Parkin replied
Thank you so much berndt2 (must get to know your real name – or is that it – if so sorry didn’t mean to be rude :)) I love that philosophy and it made me think about my latest images. I photograph really for 2 reasons – one to record my family (kids in particular) and the other is to project my feelings and memories. Thankfully most of the time I record my kids lives they are happy – I may post an image of them playing hopscotch without my baggage :) – similar image, totally different meaning. Thanks for that – has given me food for thought.
Matt Roberts
