ABSTRACT
This essay examines the relationship between memory and photography, and the claim that human autobiographical memory has more in common with still photographs than with the moving image. It reflects on empirical work using cameras/photographs to trigger memory retrieval, drawing on research in memory studies as well as theories of photography and digital media. It anticipates the development of a new strand of thought that focuses on the felt experience of memory and cognitive process: a neurophenomenology that elucidates our interactions with digital photography.
