The Family Photo Series: Advanced Photo Finial

   

   

When we die we leave a mark in the memories of those we leave behind. While most of the time these memories are emotional, those burned in our brains, often times these are physical. I am exploring the memories my great-grandfather left behind in the photos he took. Although we don’t have the same blood, he is still an important person in my past and his experiences have helped to form my own personal history. The use of self-portraiture is necessary, and the combination of the past and the present help to create my future. This work is designed to make you question your own family memories and the role they play in your life.
