In the heat of a Californian summer and fall, I turned my attention to small, ordinary things that constitute life with a kid -  playing with pumpkins and rocks, a chocolate cake, waiting for the delivery truck,  bike tours in the suburbs, grocery shopping, growing seeds, a boat tour on the bay, waiting for Halloween. I wanted to turn my Rolleiflex camera to these tiny, incidental, and invisible moments where the world  is reduced to an expression, a game, a cry. Domestic life has not been much photographed - yet even its slow, ordinary, dull moments can turn beautiful in black and white photography. This is life unedited, raw, and real.
