Thesis: book 5

My own collection consists of endless photos of my family at the dinner table. Almost every picture in my family’s albums includes us sitting around a table. Year after year, we are in the same positions, in the same house, often with the same people, usually celebrating some kind of holiday. I find this repetition and predictiability comforting, knowing that, although a photograph cannot always accurately portray our lives, we still continue to take them. I scanned over 200 photos from my collection and joined them together in one long line that turned into a 60-page book. The colored dots above each head refer to a key in the introduction paragraph and indicate people’s relationships to me. This book measures 6.5″ x 10.5″ and is 60 pages.
