Daniel’s Mother
I spent part of this project going back through photos I had on my computer and also taking pictures outside. I wanted to connect my Mom’s passions for family, education, the outdoors, gardening so I compiled photos that I had taken or that she had sent to me. It is a simple collection but it fills me with warmth thinking of the memories that are associated with them–like her old college road bike that my sister and I used throughout our college lives or childhood adventures to the beaver pond exploring and catching salamanders. I also included a photo of me and my sister because I enjoyed thinking that those expression being made were from someone who might be my mother taking the photograph, and so much of our childhood is wrapped in memories of our mother.
I like a lot of these photos because although they can be understood by others they notably express more importance to me as they are transformed by memory.

Photos of My Mother-Frances
These are all photos of my mother. Oddly, I felt somewhat uncomfortable taking photos of her with a goal. So much more often when I take photos of her they are spontaneous and don’t feel as forced in a way. That is why so many of the photos are of objects, because for me, it felt more natural to see and feel my mother in them, then to try to force a photo of her that did the same.

Collin’s Mom
I took photographs of my Mom over the past few days, and these 8 were my favorite. From making dinner, to walking our dog, to relaxing on the rooftop, I think these photographs do a good job, but not a perfect job, at conveying who my mom is. Although, there are so many things and characteristics that you cannot capture in a photograph. I included one self-timer photo that we took at Easter brunch and one photo of my mom and my sister because I think that our family is a big part of who my mom is.
For my last two images, I wanted to take photographs of my oldest dog, Siena, who adopted our baby dog, Lucca a few years ago. Lucca, being a rescue, was in desperate need of a home and family and both Siena and my mom gave that to her. Siena and Lucca’s bond has been close since the start. They’re always lying in the same bed together, snuggling.
Luis’s Mom
The photographs I took of my mom are a collection of some shot over the past week, others go back about a year and a half. I enjoyed taking these photos and finding the ones I had previously taken of her. Those that I found in my digital archives were photos of my mom and I while on vacation in Mexico. Some of these are still my favorites of her. From a young age my mom and I have been travel buddies, and sharing these with her allowed us to relive those memories and be hopeful for all those others we’d love to have after these past few weeks indoors.
My Mother
I created these photos from old photographs as well as images from around my house and neighborhood that I believe to represent my mother in many different ways. From her obsession to blue and white glass vases, French posters, and modern art, these edits show just a few things that make me think of my mother. And by combing by my 10 images into 5, I attempted to make old photographs just a little more meaningful and interesting.
