Front Porch


Wright County, Minnesota, 1979

The puzzle of partners occupied our attentions in the summer of ‘79. Trips to the country were a big part—we were all trying to suss out who we would join on our journey through life. I was already out of the mix, but these folks were still trying. It would all be figured it out in a couple of years, at least for their first marriages. In love there is no shame in trying and failing.

“Till death do us part” goes the wedding vow, and that became a fact as well for some.

How do you get people to forget you're there so you can take such great pictures?

A big help in taking unposed pictures is to have a camera with a waist level finder- where you look down at the camera, so you aren't looking at the subjects. Some digital cameras have fold out screens and work the same way.
