"Youth Culture" curated by Adan De La Garza and Nicholas O'Brien

T.H.T.K. (2010 - Present)

is an archive of photographs and photo ephemera deemed by public participants as "too hard to keep."

Submissions may include photographs, slides, photo albums, memory cards, unprocessed film, or any image-charged object.

The reason you can't live with the photo or photo-object I do not need to know...the images are shown without explanation or attribution.

I am creating a repository for these images so that they may exist without being destroyed.

Please dictate whether the photographs you submit to the archive may be exhibited in the future with other submissions to the archive, or are private photographs that are only to be displayed face down.

All submissions are exhibited anonymously.

If needed, I can pay shipping costs to send any photos, photo albums, photo-objects, or any other large submissions to the repository:
