I love William Gedney's images. Beautiful, Intimate, American, Dignified.

"William Gedney died in 1989 at the age of 56. He left behind a lifetime of photographic work, most of it unknown outside a few colleagues and curators, John Szarkowski, Lee Friedlander and Diane Arbus among them. These photographs - taken primarily in New York, San Francisco, Kentucky and India - are remarkable in their sympathetic and quietly sensual view of the world. Gedney's unobtrusive view reveals the beauty and mystery of individual lives. They illuminate the rare, lyrical vision of a photographer who, while living a reclusive personal life, recorded the lives of others with remarkable sensitivity and poignancy."
-Review of his stunning book What Was True

He isn't as well known as I think his images warrant. Enjoy some of my favorites!

This is my favorite Gedney picture. The lighting in this shot is so lovely and it feels exactly like childhood.

Happy Wednesday, friends!

Photos at Home!

There is no setting quite so spectacular as a Minnesota park in the fall but there is nothing quite as cozy as your family at home! Deciding where to shoot is a personal decision. Do you want a polished, playful look or a real-life authentic moment captured in just the right way? Do your kiddos get excited by new environments or show their true selves best in a familiar environment? If your house has great light or your yard is full of old oaks or sprawling grass... Home might be the perfect place!
