November 4 – 27, 1993
I have been photographing my family, mother father and developmentally disabled brother for more than 50 years. It is perhaps one the the longest essays of a family. My mother and father are deceased,
I continue to photograph my brother who is now 75 years old. It is my brother Dennis who is the prime reason for my continuing with this project.
