The Run-On of Time presents a deeply introspective photographic meditation on memory, mortality, and the passage of time. Eugene Richards employs a contemplative and intimate visual approach, revealing the fragile, transient moments of human experience. The images carry a quiet, somber mood that invites reflection on personal and collective histories.

Spanning 232 pages, the collection captures a layered narrative that resists linear storytelling, instead emphasizing emotional continuity and the persistence of memory. The photographs are a nuanced exploration of aging, family ties, and grief, rendered in Richards’s characteristic raw and empathetic style. Published by Yale University Art Gallery in 2017, the book offers a substantial yet deeply personal visual essay.
