Lorie Novak’s Collected Visions is an interactive web site that explores how family photographs shape our memories. Users are encouraged to search and view images from an online database of over one thousand photographs. In addition, participants can submit photographic essays exploring the power of family snapshots. Changing exhibitions of selected essays from these submissions are presented in the Collected Visions Gallery. Movies made with the collected images and audio recollections are also on view.
