>Rick Castro- Tío Cuco, 14x11” silver gelatin print, signed on verso,1987/ print 2026, edition of 6<
Portrait of my grand-uncle Tío Cuco at his palatial ranch in Zacatecas, Mexico.
Tío always worn the same outfit and sombrero working daily at el rancho.
He was a kind soul who spoke English, but preferred not to. Tío passed the following year I took this photograph. I sent a print to his familia so it could be the center piece of el altar del rancho para el Día de Muertos.

Life with social media is exhausting. AI floods the world with machine generated images. The more connected we are, the more isolated we feel. In response, emerging voices and veteran visual storytellers turn to the tactility of the photographic object, the intentionality of the development process, and the uniqueness of a composition captured on a roll of film. They seek connection and community through photography. The future, so it seems, is analog.
Fast Forward considers how photography creates a space for camaraderie and interaction, and how analog processes play a pivotal role in such conversations.
