Family

This is my family - Jen will probably hate this and I'm not sure she gets my art - but this image kind of defines my family. Jen is my vegetarian who is constantly in motion - seriously, she never sits still - sometimes I kind of wish she would just sit down, eat a big fat juicy steak and ignore the single dish that might be in the sink. Yes, Jacob is eating lunch naked. We pick our fights with him - he won this one, but he's eating his lunch. Prim and proper Sydney is simply horrified that he is at the table naked and we seem to be condoning this act. I'm even kind of in this image - there's a box of screws on the table that represents me - I hate working on the house and when I do I'm always too lazy to put my tools away. I wish I made enough money so I can hire people to work on my house!

I shot my family with my Nikon FM2 with TriX film and I believe a 28mm f2.8 lens. I bought my FM2 in 1990 to study photography in college. Boy I loved that camera - and still do. I remember getting that thing home and I just could not put it down. Recently I picked it up for the first time in like 12/15 years and just started shooting old school. Here's the reciept - which I think is pretty funny - $350 - boy that was a boat load of money back then.
