Things May Change But This Will Stay The Same

Things May Change But This Will Stay The Same Issue 1:

By Chris Floyd in Photography

“I look at these pictures now, for the first time since I made them, at least two lifetimes ago, and don’t anymore see the girl that’s in them. It doesn’t matter what her name is because I’m looking at an ideal, of how I wanted love to be and remain, of how I saw a woman as I fell, at first, for her and then in love with her. This is love, for the first time, as shell shocked and stunned wonder.”

Here it is, my first Magcloud effort. This 46 page magazine is something I put together after finding the pictures in a box last year, having long forgotten about their existence. They were taken in late 2001 on a roadtrip across America with my then girlfriend. Looking at them with 10 years behind me, I immediately realised that compiled in the right way they might serve as an elegy for something that might have been and never quite was. That 10 year distance had marinated them into something that I would never have recognised at the time.

I’m proud of it and I hope it’s received with the warmth and tenderness with which it’s intended.
