I started working on the nephews project about six years ago. My
sister had past three years prior and had left behind these two boys. I
started photographing them because i missed her and needed to establish
some way of keeping her close. A selfish
need and lack of acceptance of what had happened. Through out the years
the project has developed into a collaboration between the boys and
myself, a collaboration in life. What started as a some what selfish
need to fulfill my own void, has turned into a communication across age, geographic s, emotional barriers and through a lot of love. It is
turning into a document of time and a family story about growing up and
doing it together.
