For Memories’ Sake (2010)

For Memories’ Sake, a half-hour documentary, investigates the life and work of Angela Singer, a Southern homemaker who has taken an average of a dozen photos a day for the last 35 years, compiling a mysterious and strange archive of over 150,000 photographs of her daily life.

This blog was begun in 2006 in part to detail the process of preserving my grandmother’s home movies. That preservation project grew into two local Home Movie Day events, a brief stint as a library archivist, and, most recently, a half-hour documentary about my extraordinary grandmother, a Southern homemaker who has taken at least a dozen photos a day for the last thirty plus years, amassing an archive of over 150,000 photographs.
