Gasparetti Baptism, Martins Creek, Pennsylvania 1979

Larry Fink's "Gasparetti Baptism, Martins Creek, Pennsylvania" (1979) is a black and white photograph capturing a candid moment of a family during a baptism ceremony. The photograph shows a young boy, perhaps the child being baptized, kneeling at a table with a baby lying on a white blanket, while the baby's parents and a young girl look on. Fink's work often focuses on everyday life, and this photograph is a poignant example of his ability to find the beauty and intimacy in ordinary moments. The composition is straightforward, with the figures arranged in a natural way, emphasizing the family bond and the sense of community within this intimate event. This style of photojournalism is a key element of his photographic style.
