Royal Shire Dr.


I just spent some time in Dallas, Texas with my beloved Grandmother, Ruth Stern. She is moving soon and I wanted to spend some time with her in her house before she re-locates. Grandma Ruth is an amazing woman, from stories of building munitions in a factory while Grandpa Eugene was a marine in the pacific arena during WWII, to raising three kids in the 50's in Dallas, she always makes me smile.This visit was bittersweet as I have spent many summers as a young kid at her house in the Dallas sun, going to camp, learning the breast stroke and kicking my sister while drinking diet chocolate soda.Just walking through this house now as an adult, so many memories and emotion run through my mind; the light, the smell the textures and objects hold so much sentimental value.


















Imaging all the times my father Robert, Aunt Nancy, Uncle Allen, Grandpa Eugene, Sister Danielle and Mom Corrine have touched this light switch; too many to count.






I am putting together a small book of images that I took at the house to capture the feeling, the sense of time, a family and its history.
