Jeffris family bathing beauties

Some hot chicks I found among the old pictures from my grandparents house. One or both of them are my ancestors, which is obviously where I get my love of the ocean, swimming and having a good time. These pics look kinda racy for 1910, no? This was in Wisconsin, mind you.

go see: American High Style at the Brooklyn Museum

go see this new exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum: American High Style: Fashioning a National Collection. May 7 – August 1, 2010. I worked on this project for a bit in 2008, photographing some of the collection with a great team. We went to the member's preview last week and it was wonderful!

Memom

I have such a wealth, a vast trove of family photos now that we went to Chicago and emptied out my grandparent's old place. Here are a few of my grandmother, Roys, who was called Memom in the family. She was a pistol, to say the least, and I still miss her. She died in spring of 2001.

I need your help...

Below is a description of an on-going project of mine, Working Life, which is portraits of people at their job, doing their job. I am looking to try and capture some of the many professions and jobs that are not represented yet in the project, which can be viewed here. If you, or someone you know would be interested in having their portrait taken, please contact me or let me know how I can get in touch with them. This is a personal project and will not be used for any other purpose other than artistic in nature. I have listed some jobs I would love to get to this year.

WORKING LIFE: November 2007 – on-going
This project is about portraits of people in their everyday lives, using photography, which to me means while they are working. I want to explore what the current working landscape is and what it will become. Most of us spend most of our lives working, usually not at home with family and friends. Productivity is measured and streamlined with a never ending upgrade of technology to make our work easier, but none of this has managed to lessen the amount of time we spend at work. In fact we work more now, not less. The office is everywhere, all the time.
