Twenty Years of Forgetfullness

Boats in Port Townsend Washington after a storm. I’m in Port Townsend for another day. Been great to have some down time. Snow and rain and moss. Tomorrow I’ll start making my way to New York via lopez island, seattle, chapel hill, and lagos. I’m working on some exciting projects this spring which I will be launching in the next month. It should be an interesting year, hopefully a bit less intense than 2011…

About

Twenty Years of Forgetfullness is a place for quick notes on slower journalism by photojournalist Trevor Snapp.

As we race to get the news out quicker and quicker, we lose the reason to report in the first place.
There is no shortcut to understanding, no matter how fast your broadband. I think readers are more thirsty for deep journalism than ever before, Social media and aggregators can never replace what we learn from going there.

The title comes from the anthropologist and structuralist Claude Lévi-Strauss's memoir Tristes Tropiques. He writes that he only understood what he had first seen in the Amazon when he returned 20 years later.
