From generation to generation

"Taken over a period of approximately twenty years, the photographs in this exhibition are part of a series entitled, Triptychs. These twenty-seven photographs, presented in groups of three, depict working class families living in a six-block area of Buffalo, New York's Lower West Side. The families were photographed during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. These images speak about the importance of family, continuity, and the impact of the passage of time. Without sentimentality or romanticizing, the portraits capture the dignity of these individuals and tell their stories of humor, warmth, vitality, and mortality. ..."
