"...I could leave these shores, I could sail home, I could take something with me, I could leave something in return, and at that word it came back, alive." ---from Vapor Wake by Mary Ruefle

This is a 2 x 2 x 2 series. 2 states, 2 photographs, 2 artworks. Making Memories and Taking Memories are out of town fun on the road. Photographs are from 1997.

As I've read or heard somewhere not that long ago, possibly by Slavoj Zizek or my mind plays with me -- he was saying that memories are meaningful only if photographed. It would not mean much to have memories if there was no way store them.

He of whoever it was meant to say that memory making, memory taking and memory recalling are interlinked. Logically, emotionally, socially and economically.
