This book would not exist if David hadn't come so close to death.

In December 2016 David was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of lymphoma.

The oncologist gave him a thirty percent chance of survival.

I didn't expect him to live.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀During the time her husband and photographer David Pace went through chemotherapy and radiation, Diane Jonte-Pace turned to a long-postponed household project: to arrange and sort unlabeled and unsorted old photographs, stored in shoeboxes all around the house.

Prints and slides, dating from 1970, when the couple first met, individually and collectively, captured a sense of time past and time passing, while each individual photograph froze a moment in their lives.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Technically and stylistically, this book incorporates most of the forms of photography available over the last five decades, starting in a period when cameras and film were becoming more accessible and less expensive.

From the 35mm single-lens reflex camera, Brownie Hawkeye, Polaroid, and single-use throw-away cameras to professional cameras like the Pentax 6x7, Sinar 4x5, Deardorff 8x10, and, eventually, full frame digital Canons.

More recent photos are snapshots made on iPhone.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Where the Time Goes provides a window into the past.

It is the story of youth, aging, and change over time.

It's a story about family photography over five decades, of a post-war generation coming of age, and turning the camera upon itself.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀While the photos in this book tell a story of aging and change in a life together, they also tell a story of how family photos have been made, stored, and viewed over the last 50 years.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The story told by these photographs belongs not only to Diane and David.

It provides a window onto the past for an entire generation.

Where the Time Goes recounts how the post-war generation turned the camera upon itself, and narrates a story of youth, aging, and change through illness, hope, and recovery.
