Sean Fader, From Insufficient Memory
"In the summer of 2019, I drove 25,000 miles to 38 states to photograph significant locations tied to each hate crime murder I found from 20 years prior. Using the antiquated Mavica, I captured images characterized by a deliberate lack of resolution and digital clarity, contrasting sharply with today's digital photographic capabilities."
