One of my summer projects was to physically inspect 24 reels of 16mm film that was recently acquired by the archive. Salvaged from a New Hampshire dump, the donor was uncertain of the film's content. So, I was able to live the life of a detective and film archivist, learning more about this family with each new can. Ultimately, I was unable to crack their entire story, but I enjoyed crafting plenty of possible family narratives. Below is a beautiful example of film decomposing, which depicts "my family" in New York in the early 1930's...

What's this All About?
Most of the time I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in the fair state of New York.
Now, I temporarily live on the border of Brooklin and Blue Hill, in Coastal Maine while I intern at a film archive. Just an hour's drive from Acadia National Park, they call this neck of the woods "Down East."
With a population of 1.2 million people, more people participate in New York's Puerto Rican Day Parade than live in the entire state of Maine.
