Grandpa Danny
1987-2008
Thank you Leo & Wanda Costello, Danny & Helen Uberto and Ancil & Phyllis Wilkerson. You created the foundation for this investigation. Gathered here are large format view camera studies coupled with a collection of family photographs and heirlooms that document a working class Midwest American family who lived on the south side in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 2008, Dark Lark Press (Chicago) published these materials into photobook form with an afterword written by Robert Kotchen.
