My book, Personal History explores the lives of my sons, Ben and Sam over a span of 30 years. I used a 1950’s Kodak Brownie Hawkeye camera and color film and discovered I related to the soft colors, the imperfections, and the transcendent quality of the image. I fell in love with the square negative that replaced the rectangle I had known. At centerstage are my sons who we watch mature from an early age to young men. I carried the camera around the house, on outings, and traveling to other countries. Childhood and adolescence are constant, like the lapping waves on the beach.
