Part of a series, based on old family snapshots, which explores the way in which photographs shape our memories and drive a family narrative. Past Imperfect is a reference not only to the past imperfect grammatical tense but, also, to the imperfection inherent in memory and in old photographs, both of which can be blurred and indistinct.
