It was listed you know on the internet, ‘bring photographs of your friends and family if you miss them.’ Okay. You know like I think some of the photos that were brought like they were so contrived, they were posed and you know it was funny. Everyone seems to have this little book of their family, of images." 2013-07-31T14:07:04Z Comment by EverydayAllie Direct quote - Elizabeth Edward (1999 in the edited book 'Material Memories: design and evocation' pg.226) “objects can be handled, framed, cut, crumpled, caressed, pinned on a wall, put under a pillow, or wept over” 2013-07-31T14:06:02Z Comment by EverydayAllie Direct quote - participant Frances: photographs are “precious to me”, and “ I just don’t trust the freight forwarder” 2013-07-31T14:04:43Z Comment by EverydayAllie Direct quote - participant Jason: “I think things that are precious are things that are frankly passed down from my parents. And, you know, a lot of that could be photographs of us growing up” 2013-07-31T14:02:55Z Comment by EverydayAllie Direct quote - Elizabeth Edward (1999 in the edited book 'Material Memories: design and evocation' pg.221) "The photograph infuses almost all levels of memory, even those of which it is not directly part. It constitutes a meta-value of memory construction, its tentacles spread out, blurring and constructing memory in its own insistent image." 2013-07-31T14:01:34Z Comment by EverydayAllie Direct quote - Elizabeth Edward (1999 in the edited book 'Material Memories: design and evocation' pg.222) “They are made to hold the fleeting, to still time, to create memory” 2013-07-31T14:01:00Z
