Ordinary Time

Before I started graduate school, I started to take photos of the ordinary daily minutia surrounding my mother, father, and brother who still resided in the same home I grew up in Northeast Ohio. 10 years later, I started to return home more frequently after my mom passed away to check on my family. The images in this series are moments in time, separated by 10 years (or more) that show the daily patterns and rhythms of life that do not necessarily change but adapt to alterations in the family dynamic.
