2010 Rusticana

In these old objects I find remnants of the energy of those who made them, used them, and in some cases, cherished them.
They were creators, craftsmen, artisans: Ancestors.

It seems to me that a whole period of Western history has been dismissed and dismantled; only shards and fragments remain … only photography can preserve them, now.
