[Summer 2023]

Snapshots of Memory
By Pierre Dessureault

[Excerpt]

“During the spring and summer, I make a lot of photographs. My contact sheets are filled with outdoor scenes, with landscapes and, most of all, with people in landscapes. . . . Then, before fall sets in, I go back home. I pore over my contact sheets, establishing relationships between the images gathered so spontaneously. I arrange them into series, give them titles, decide on formats. I begin to really see their content and the elements at play. I plan what shape to give them. The more I look at them, the more they seem like illusions or like visions whose origins will be remembered for a while longer. They are like white pebbles hidden in the hollow of my being.”1
