Reviewing my writings and photographs, I’ve come to terms with the limited breadth of my observations. The same subjects and insights recur over and over. But maybe, while not new, what I continue to communicate has value.
I have countless images of children charged with the care of their younger siblings… many similar to this but none exactly the same. The intent is to show the warmth and caring in the relationships as well as the maturity that is frequently born from necessity or hardship.
My hope is that like droplets of water, each much like the last and the next, falling on a rock over time, the recurring themes of my pictures and writings may ultimately leave some impression, however small, on the world. Even if they don’t, I still love this image.
