From a found photo album containing pictures of a summer party. The album still bears the seal “Detroit Camera Shop. Washington Blvd at Michigan”

Study in fuchsia and red. Preparation for the installation next week are in full swing!

California beach vistas. Gorgeous colors!

These leather jackets are everything.

Beautiful young mother and unusual angle.

This gives me life!

Happy “1002” :) best caption this far…

No chill for the holidays, as we’re grinding toward February 5 - Exhibition opening for this project in Toronto. Save the Date, all!

“Grandpa and his Sweet Thing”

Her gloves are everything.

“Son + Daughter 2-2-80”

“Lewis, Baby Boy. 3 lb 21 oz 16 ½ inches. Born 5-12-90 at 3:57 AM”. This meticulously detailed caption is haunting. It was obviously important to someone to document Lewis’ first days in the incubator. I wonder how Lewis and his family are today and what their lives are like. Finds like this gem are particularly difficult to get one’s arms around.
