September Is The Cruelest Month by Deborah Parkin via Issue 14 of Unless You Will, one of my online favorite photo journals. Deborah photographed her children playing, dreaming, contemplating, asserting, sleeping. All with the moody, atmospheric poignancy of Sally Mann’s work.

These portraits started during the summer of 2010 (and continues to evolve) when I came to the stark realisation that my children are growing up (and to a point away) from me, and that time passes and is never recaptured – we are only left with memories and photographs.

Taken on a 4×5 large format camera (Toyo 45A), using Fuji’s instant black and white film (FP-100b45), I wanted to capture moments of our school holidays together whether it be in play, at the mountains, at the sea, moments of contemplation… – Deborah Parkin via Unless You Will #14

Gorgeous photography by Juliane Eirich from Unless You Will, issue 10. I love, love LOVE the pink and black color palette in the first two shots.

We photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing, and when they have vanished, there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. We cannot develop and print a memory. – Henri Cartier Bresson.

Good photography allows us to linger in (the photographer’s) foot steps, to be in the desert, a foreign country – 1000 or more miles away. And that is because the artist took it upon herself to be there, find the spot with a view that touched their heart and make their exposure. – Unless You Will
