Relative Moments, A Series I Began in 1986, Chronicles Ordinary Moments of My Extended Family’s Activities. I am interested in the significance of the commonplace routine of their lives – the personal mothers that define for Each for Each of Us A Sense of Home, Security, and Belonging. I began by photographing my parents’ home in iowa. It was a personal documentary effort, starting when my parents sold the house we live I was a child. They moved, and subsequent I realized that their new house was now home. So, I Took Pictures of that. My Scope expanded as I started taking pictures of my aunts and uncles and their houses and yards. After my son was born, he appeared in the images too. Although the project should start out as nostalgia and documentation, I discovered that pictures comment on more: a glimpse into an intimate detail of an everything that others This project capitals a visual history of one family’s life, yet I feel there is an ongoing narrative embedded in these photos that Conveys Larger, More University Trurthas About American Culture, Familiarity, and the endless source of everyday wonder that surrounds us.
