Search - David Ullmann :: Hidden

"An old photo album is an extraordinary thing. Crack the spine and the line between what is and what was starts to blur. Former selves, simultaneously you and not you, stand frozen. Worlds that no longer exist rest at your fingertips. Time skips along. Random instants are preserved, elevated by their incidental capture, and countless others recede to grey. It is in this haphazard assembly that the true wonder lies. Invariably, as each page flips by, a story emerges, the chronicle of a time, a place. The chance manner in which these tales are, over the years, collected piece-by-piece and glued together creates a resonant honesty. Hidden is an album in the other sense, but cracking its spine is no less transporting." (From the Hidden liner notes written by Max Nichols)
