Every summer throughout their childhood on a farm in Vermont, my nieces and nephew collaborated with me to create photographs that reflected who they were at the time.

Photographing with an Al-Vista Model 5D panoramic camera that had belonged to my great-grandfather created a cross-generational link. An artifact from the family's past was used to record the present, offering future generations a visual reference to their own past.
