It’s no small wonder that photography has become the lifeblood of digital culture. Some may bemoan democracy cheapens the form, but let’s be real – visual literacy only improves the art. The fact is, we don’t know what will stand the test of time until the moment has passed. As these stories attest, our deepest fascination lies in photography’s ability to preserve the integrity of subcultures that few would otherwise be able to access. Photography has the singular ability to transport to a time and place we may never otherwise know, transforming the ephemeral into the eternal.
