The AgeMap series of photographs chronicles the passage of time by juxtaposing and merging portraits of the same individual as child and as adult. The point at which the images are physically torn together becomes the boundary line (or bridge) between decades of passing time.
The AgeMap photograph also suggests that much of our nature or who we are is established at a very early age, and that these character traits remain unwavering throughout our lives. This conclusion is backed up by the studies of many behavioral scientists.
Mr. Adams began this series in the early 90's using black & white school and professional portrait photographs as his source material. These early photographs feel curiously romanticized, primarily because of the black and white imagery and the stylized poses the photographers of yesteryear chose for their subjects.
In 2000, the series AgeMap was updated. By the mid-sixties, color film had become the medium of choice. In this new series the poses of the children are more straightforward, like mugshots. Every pore, blemish, and wrinkle becomes intensified with the use of color photography, particularly when mirrored against the unblemished image of youth.
