In the 21st century photography is instant and cheap and has lost it “special “
nature .So for this project we re-created the annual event ,common at state fairs
in the early days of photography, of having a professional photograph taken. In
someways a celebration of life, and change, and in others a memento mori.
These people selected during The Handcar Regatta in Santa Rosa ,California were
asked to step into the light and be captured for history just as their great
grandparents would have been, but with a modern attitude.
