Pinhole portriat of my parents
20 Mar
These are my parents! You’ll be seeing quite a bit of them in the next few days. When I went home to Concordia, Missouri for my 10 year high school reunion, I did a series of pinhole portraits of my family (my parents, my nana and my brother). My parents are so fantastic! I wish I saw more of them. My father is a truck driver and my mom travels around the country with him. I’ve always thought being a truck driver would be a neat job…only because they get to see so much of the country. I’m not so sure I’d like to do all that manual labor! I used to beg my dad to take me with him when I was in college, so I could do a documentary of the experience, but for reasons beyond my control, that never happened.
I really like this image, well positioned and lit. The truck in the background also speaks to the composition as you’ve given some description.
