The following photos are excerpted from Talking Pictures, which is on sale today.įrom the chapter "Clowning Around," which is 100% tomfoolery: It becomes something not just to look at, but to listen to. It’s generally just identifying information (“me and Jerry at the Grand Canyon, 1947″), but every once in a while I'll find a something surprising, emotional, candid, hilarious, heartbreaking - a few words that bring the picture to life in a profound new way, transforming a blurry black-and-white snapshot of people who seem a million miles and a million years away into an intensely personal sliver of experience that anyone can relate to. When you’re looking through bins of thousands of random, unsorted photos, every hundredth one or so will have some writing on it. But it's not necessarily about the snapshots themselves - the interesting part is what's written on the backs. Ransom Riggs has an unusual hobby: he collects old photographs of people he doesn't know.
