From the introduction:

“Recently my father shipped me the rest of the family negatives. It is a fine collection, dating back to his parents’ courtship in late nineteenth century Florida. Looking through them reinforced a strong interest that I have in family stories and heredity. Memory and autobiography have always played a role in my art work but the intensity of my backward gaze is stronger than ever. I suppose this has been brought on by the advancing age of my parents and my own realization that I have passed my life’s midway point.”
