Legacy Matters
Photo from an exhibit at the Newark Museum by Frank Maresca of found snapshots taken between the 1920s and 1960s.
Asked to discuss the immediacy and urgency of snapshots, he says: “When people look at snapshots, whether of their own making or those made by others, the effect is so powerful that the viewer feels as if they are having an out-of-body and out-of-time experience. You see it happen all the time. The snapshot just may be Everyman’s eternity.”
