Decades ago I photographed the children of friends. As the children grew up many years passed between the few occasions that I saw the children. Yet grow up they did; and married; and gave birth to their own children. When the time came to celebrate their grandmother’s 85th birthday these grandchildren decided to gift their grandmother with photographs of her children, grand children and great grandchildren – and – that George “must” create the photographs. Thank you for your loyalty Molly, Reuben et al! I really enjoyed our delightful morning together – meeting your life partners and children; and documenting 4 beautiful generations expressing their love for one another. Edward Steichen said, “A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it.”
Looking forward to photographing this little one’s children in 20 plus years.
