This is a story about transition. About the things we lose, and the memories we keep. Last year my parents left Springfield Missouri, for suburban Phoenix, forced to find work in a new city when the economy in our hometown faltered. The photographs in this new series document their last days in the home I grew up in and striving to personalize their new home. While the photos in this series are intimate, they are universal in their illustration of vulnerability and apprehension, optimism and love. They represent the fragility of housing and employment, and the strength of family and commitment.
