FUNNY FEELING

Reading Norman Klein's book "The History of Forgetting", I ran into the word "imago" in the introduction and was fascinated by it. "Imago" is Latin for image but more importantly, it is used by the psychologist, Carl Jung, to explain the images that come from the collective unconscious. For example, I don't clearly remember when or where this shot was taken. And I don't remember being in New York at that young an age. However, I do remember it being very hot outside somewhere. It was a humid summer as most New York summers are. A part of me wants to associate that forgotten memory to the photo but I could be completely wrong. Other collected photos from my childhood piece together a very distant memory but nothing I could clearly remember being there.

One thing I do remember is coming home after work and finding my dog chewing on this photo.
