A woman was waiting at the cross walk with her children, the light changes and I forget how many kids she is with and what gender they are. That was the stimulus needed to start this series. As Best I Can Remember is a recreation of memories I have from moments I’ve witnessed in passing. To reenact each scene, I rebuild characters from memory and photograph them on location where I remember seeing them. This allows me to better explore the imperfections of human memory and to share a more honest experience.
