As the title itself evokes, Russell Joslin’s "Alone Forever Sometimes" describes — in 58 rich, striking black and white plates — both the inherent isolation and collective relief of being. Using himself as a means of expressing the individual emotional state, Joslin’s self-portraits strike chords of truth so deeply conveyed — and thus experienced — that the personal becomes universal, relating to the human condition with conflict and resolution co-existing as man versus nature, man versus man, man versus himself... and achieving peace, however fleeting.
