Most of us have thousands of old family pictures degrading with the years. As a species, we humans treasure family photos. Family photographs can tell a story. . Family connections to our past are important to developing and maintaining a sense of place, a sense of personal and local identity, and add to our individual sense of purpose and belonging.

Thanks for the comments! @jen I shot with the Contax 645 with the new Kodak Portra 220 and it was mostly fine except I have to rely the autofocus on the Contax which can sometimes feel like you’re wrestling an aligator. It’s a little difficult but the Blairs were so wonderful and patient so it went well. Thanks again!

These are all so lovely, every single one of them! Each image conveys such a strong sense of time, place and personality.

Image 5 and 7 look amazingly like Carl Larsson paintings. Really beautiful work. You should always shoot with film! We forget what an art it is and the beautiful quality of the light and color. Really great!

Really great!  It feels like I’m swimming in images from my trip to Europe and somehow I wished I had shot even more (not possible). I’m so excited to share but can hardly figure out how to bundle it all up. I’m busy getting shoots out to clients first but in the meantime enjoy this triptych of...  Hi there!
