If to consider the photography as an art medium between the empirical world and captured representation of reality as a existential essence of the photography, as a trace, a captured moment in a time and space as it was considered by Roland Bard in his work Camera Lucida, beyond from the consumerist agenda of current foreseen by Susan Sontag in her On Photography work, those pictures had have captured by Alice Austen was, keeping in mind her queer perspective was both the way to reconsider the narratives being actual for her period of time by shifting the perspective of how her society applied to the daily values, and at the same time, also the way to capture the time, to safe some very important, intimate, gentle moments of the queer life created by ad hoc The Darned Society.

That same perspective I was trying to apply to the picture I took at Alice Austin’s House, trying to connect both the intimacy of the Larky Life still in the air in this place, and capturing the moment of House dailies. There weren’t a try to revise the current notion as it is no longer a necessary at least in such a community, however, I like the juxtaposition of the senses in the picture I took with both touch of something impressionistic and old, when that community took a place, and with the new inclination like the thick line of Verazzano Bridge symbolised of the passed time as it was builded up much later. This is actually what might simultaneously being included in a photo as a unique medium if to considering this elusive narrative juxtaposition in the picture, the juxtaposition of even controversial meanings with the same time literally the capturing the reflection of light on a silver halide crystals I assume still being a part of the Polaroid film chemical structure which is itself unique, as it was same uniqueness of the picture of Roland Bard’s mother being a little girl he found and turned it to the Camera Lucida work. With such a narrative in mind, I took this picture when I’d obtained a few free moments with Polaroid at this cozy Austin’s House water edge follow a significant shape to the modern Manhattan.
