Brave New Family

This is one of my favorites. It is singular, iconic and has a depth that few family portraits ever reach. The mood is apprehensive, uncertain. There is simultaneously a feeling of impending doom and enduring hope. While they are walking towards the light, over their shoulders are ever-encroaching dark and powerful clouds. I see this image as a metaphor for all the travails that a family has to endure. What parents go through to raise their children in this often toxic culture is nothing short of heroic.
