GALLERIES: Personal Projects & Exhibited Series: :: Family of Mine ::

Solo exhibition of "Family of Mine" opening Jan 21th 5-7pm, Ferrin Gallery.

Easter, a few years back, my wife's sister's husband's twin brother showed up dressed in a well-worn, day-rental bunny costume. To assure none of the kids knew who it was, he was completely mute behind the screen hidden in the buck-toothed plastic grin for the entire time he was there.

My photographs of family events are spontaneous, mutely observant, and never staged. Blood, love, and obligation draw us together in a place where worldviews mix, match, confuse, and clash. As an embed in this intimate, interpersonal world, I document my particular and familiar reality and explore the sometimes tense dichotomies that define American family life.

Images from this series are exhibited and sold as 30x40" archival digital-c prints in editions of 3.
