I started my journals in the late ’70s. They were initially used to keep track of places I’d traveled, expenses and for family Polaroids. In the ’90s, they grew more complicated in construction, then reached a zenith in the early 2000s. The biggest challenge came when I no longer used film and lost the ability to use contact sheets and Polaroids from shoots. These journals are my time capsule. Enjoy.
