"I hear the sounds of the trains coming and going...
these are the sounds of my past life."

-Gene Egner

Gene captures the tender portrait of a man reflecting
on his life prior to being placed in an assisted living
community. He listens carefully to the world around
him; sound becoming his way of documenting the
days at Harvest Homes. Utilizing personal photographs
kept and curated over the years, Gene finds inner peace with himself through his vivid and often
wistful narration.

The resulting project adopts a variety of mediums
and storytelling strategies between Gene,
Jim Goldberg, and Nolan Calisch.

This work was created during the Postcards From
America project in Portland, Oregon (2015)
