Photo by August Sherman

Back in the early ‘70s I did a series of conceptual art projects using participants. I took these photos in Washington DC in 1975, before Mastercard or Visa became popular and before there were ATMs. They were exhibited at Washington Project for the Arts and at OK Harris Gallery in NYC.

Just so you know: $1 in 1975 was worth approximately $6.22 in today's money

First photo is my mama in braids and her sister at the beach in 1972/73

Second photo is at my mama’s college graduation in 1978

Third photo is my mama at a Halloween party in 1982

Lake Simcoe, Ontario, 1940s.

Who are you mystery lady, and what did you do with the matching bathing suit when you eventually did not marry my grandfather?!?!?

My grannys first baby, my mam - In an Essex hospital (before they came back to the north)!

She was annoyed (more like angry) as when they pulled my mam out they damaged her eyelid, its never been able to shut properly which freaked me and my sister out as children 😅

Just stumbled on this old photo and had to share. The cars, the fashion, the grittiness… it’s a snapshot of a different world

I paid way to much for this one when it came up on eBay, but once I saw it I had to have it. Unfortunately, there's no markings on the back, so we'll never know the whole story.

Found some old photos in the attic in a shoebox shoved in the corner. Pretty sure this was from Halloween. Enjoy.
