more war photog

My family's old photographs are one of my favorite things in my possession. Whether or not I would still find the photos interesting if they were not of my own relatives, I have no idea. I have always only been interested in photographing the things that are important to me, but have never successfully made the things that are important to me become important to anyone viewing my photographs. I get obsessed with my own family history, and forget that it only contains history for myself. What is it to anyone else, and how do I make it become art to anyone else?

Mathew Brady

Not just Mathew Brady, but Civil War Photography. And not just Civil War photography, War photography in general. It's partly due to my interest in history, and especially American history. I'm also so much more drawn to the aesthetic of early photography, and war photography contains so much history.
