It was interesting, in scanning these slides and watching the 8mm movies, to see the same people but to have their lives compressed so much. In one box the same people ages from children to teenagers to parents themselves. I also felt, so many times, like I could actually know these people's names. Not because I'd ever met them, but because these photos did such a good job at revealing their lives that I thought at any moment that everyone's names would just pop out of a slide. And some people's names did -- on name tags, for instance. But who these Chicagoans-turned-Californians are remains a mystery and I'm okay with that.
