My Freunds, My Family

Anyone who knows me, knows that photographing my family has long been an interest of mine.  I’ve been photographing them since I first started taking photography seriously, about 1993.  Usually I photograph them in a documentary-style, trying not to disrupt our activities.  Lately though, I’ve been trying to make regular posed head-shots of  all of us, to see how we look alike, how we age, and so on.  These photos were made about two weeks ago, during a visit back to Mayville, where I grew up and where my parents still live.  This time, I was able to get all of us except for Brother #5, Clint.
