William Miller and Family, Twentieth-Anniversary Party, Martins Creek, Pennsylvania 1978

Larry Fink's 1978 black and white photograph, "William Miller and Family, Twentieth-Anniversary Party, Martins Creek, Pennsylvania," captures a candid moment of a family gathering, a hallmark of Fink’s work. The image depicts three children in front of a suburban home, revealing Fink's interest in documenting everyday life. One child, positioned in the foreground, looks directly at the viewer, while another stands in the shadow of the porch, creating a sense of depth and perspective. The photograph, taken at night, utilizes natural light and shadow to emphasize the sense of intimacy and the fleeting nature of the event.
