148 Days Old Possibly 1987 - 1998

This photograph, '148 Days Old,' by Debora Hunter, captures a moment suspended in time. The baby stares off camera, seemingly in awe, or maybe just bored! Either way, its so fun imagining what it might have been like to be Hunter in that moment, framing this tender moment with the fall foliage in the background. The texture is so real, you can almost feel the knit of their matching sweaters. It reminds me of those family photos we all have stashed away, moments where life is caught unawares. Hunter's work speaks to something universal about family, and it echoes the work of photographers like Nan Goldin who captured those fleeting instances of everyday life with such vulnerability. We’re all in an ongoing conversation, exchanging ideas through our work, inspiring each other's creativity across the years!
