Why Family Photojournalism?
It’s exciting to witness and photograph history, and tell stories of people and causes that matter in the world.
Yet, as proud as I am of the work I do as a photojournalist, the walls of my home are populated almost exclusively with photographs I’ve made of my family.
Those are the pictures that matter to me and the ones I want to look at every day.
REAL MEMORIES STAY CONNECTED TO REAL PHOTOGRAPHS.
The reason I choose to photograph families in a documentary way is because those photographs come from real life, and from real life come real memories.
There is no “wrong” way to photograph families, and portraits can be beautiful.
But, when we reflect on our lives, and the times we’ve share with people we care about, what we’re searching for is memories … the meaningful moments and rituals that make up the tapestry of our past.
Portraits can capture the faces of the people in those memories, but photojournalism captures the actual moments and rituals themselves.
Our Imperfect Memory
Science has proven that even the most “unforgettable” experiences in our lives are often inaccurately recalled … warped with time, and sometimes, lost altogether.
That’s why, over the past 20 years, I’ve created a collection of photographs of my own family that will protect and preserve the memories I treasure, and the ones my kids will one day share with their kids.
Those are the photographs I have on my walls. Photographs with meaning. Photographs that will last … the ones I will never tire of.
