THE ELDERS

Twenty years ago I took my first black and white photography class and it changed me. At the time I didn’t even have a camera so one of my dear friends gave me his Nikon 2000 and it’s the only film camera I’ve ever owned. In that class the series The Elders began which are photos of my paternal Grandparents, Great Aunt and Great Uncle. They were my first images and they show the love I have for these people. Some have passed and some are still with us which makes these memories all the more special. I didn’t know what I was doing or even how to really use the camera so I navigated on instinct and these images are the results.
