Vernacular photography is defined “the language or dialect spoken by the ordinary people in a particular country or region” through images.
The mystery behind each photo is our drive for collecting. You never know everything that was going on the moment of the photo. You don’t know the stories of the people or places. What made someone take a photo in that specific moment in whatever pose?? The weirder the better for us.
