Who really knows how this will all turn out? Denton, Texas, is shut down from the middle to the edges, and as we are left to contemplate, we wonder: Is this the end of the United States consumer driven economy? Will consumers, who’ve been forced into stasis, awaken and realize what the do need, what they don’t need and what the difference is between need and want, quality and crap?
The final chapters are still way out ahead of us, but as we go through the lens glass, we – I – cannot forget to document this era for history, if for nothing and no one else. Value in these images? They are likely to be worthless today, and for quite some time, but maybe someone will seek understanding from them in the distant future. That’s a BIG maybe.
