Jonte-Pace, Diane Where the Time Goes (905330942X)
This book would not exist if David hadn't come so close to death. In December 2016 he was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of lymphoma. The oncologist gave him a thirty percent chance of survival. The images in the book, individually and collectively, capture a sense of time past and time passing: each individual photograph freezes a moment in our lives. At the same time, as a collection, they give us a dizzying sense of velocity, a sense of time passing rapidly, as if, as Billy Collins says in one of our favorite poems, we have 'speed lines trailing behind us as we rush along the road of the world, as we rush down the long tunnel of time.' Technically and stylistically, this book incorporates most of the forms of photography available over the last five decades, starting in a period when cameras and film were becoming more accessible and less expensive.
