"store bought
nuclear family."

Photographer unknown.
[ID: A black and white film photo of a family next to a parked car. The car is light colored and stands out against the dark grey walls and dirt ground around it. On the hood of the car is a doll in a white dress with a white veil. A child with light skin and long layers on stands with their hand on the side of the car. Crouched next to them is an adult holding up a small dog to stand on their back legs. The person has light skin and dark hair and is wearing a dark suit. Above the family are clotheslines laden with bright white fabrics that contrast with the dark surroundings.]

”revel in the softness,
the space between fingers.”

[ID: A color film triple exposure of hands and taper candles. Arms reach in from both the left and right side of the frame, glowing a soft orange-yellow from the light of the flames. The hands and fingers are held in different positions in all six iterations across the photo. Along the bottom third of the frame is a webbing of two, small, green tables with ornate spirals and designs. There are three candles on the left table and about five candles on the right. Some of the layers of hands and candles are translucent, showing fingers over wrists, a candle through the back of a hand. All the layering and shadow and bright orange flame creates a surreal sense of movement.]

[ID: A black and white film photo of a group of several people who appear to be gathered in celebration. In the center of the photo is a pair, each person carrying their own lit, taper candle. The one of the left wears a dark suit with a matching brimmed hat. They have small white flowers pinned to their lapel and a patterned tie tucked into their jacket. The person at their side is wearing a dress with intricate detailing on the chest. They also wear a head piece with similarly intricacies across the base and a long veil that reaches down beyond the length of their dress. There are several characters in the crowd around them; all of whom are either focused on the pair with the candles or gaze directly into the camera.]

"heat in the body,
mistaken for sun."
-S. Díaz
Photo by Julia Sherman.
[ID: A color film photo of a person sitting on a horse. Both the person and horse are gazing into the camera with dark eyes. The horse is an american paint horse and has large splotches of white and auburn hair all over their body. Their strong body fills the frame, their torso and shoulders meet the bottom of the frame and their head reaches up to the top. The horse's head is turned in a way that aligns their eyes with the human's. The person is wearing an all white outfit with long sleeves and pants. They have light colored skin and long brown hair. Behind the two is a wall of deep green forest and in the foreground are some tan grasses in soft focus.]

[ID: A blue-hued, color film portrait of a person made using a kaleidoscopic filter on the lens. The person is peering back over their shoulder, gazing intently into the camera. They have dark makeup around their eyes and dark lipstick on their lips, which are slightly parted to show their white teeth. The light glows across their cheekbones and shoulder. They are on the other side of a jagged, circular hole, as if looking through a whole torn in a giant sheet of paper. The filter creates soft multiples of the elements of the photo - there are almost six sets of eyes, four lips, nearly seven edges to the hole encircling them. The copied layers move in a circular orientation from the original, creating a swirling, spiraling kind of momentum to the photo.]

[ID: A color film photo of tulips growing in the ground. There are defined rows moving horizontally across the frame, alternating between rich, brown dirt and the bright tulips. The tulip blossoms are an array of yellows and pinks, rising up from thick green leaves on thin stems. The frame is brimming with textures and color.]

[ID: A color film photo rendered in black and white of the Oregon Dunes. In the foreground of the photo is a long, black stick and some small pieces of plant debris. These materials standout against the rippled pattern of the sand. In the center of the photo is a shimmering, triangular puddle of water. The slopes of sand leading down into the water have bold and contrasting textures, some smooth and others deeply ridged. The curves of the dunes, along with the angled patterns of their surfaces, give a kind of swirling momentum to the photo.]

[ID: A color film photo of a polar bear looking into their own reflection on a small body of water. The polar bear is in the very center of the frame, laying down at the rocky shore along the water's edge. One of their giant paws hangs limp towards the surface of the water. Their head is turned downwards and they have beige fur with a dark black nose and black claws. The bottom half of the frame is all reflection in the water; swirling white and grey clouds over blue sky. The reflection of the polar bear is dark along the edge and shows another angle of their face. Their eyes appear to be looking into the camera, through the reflection on the water. Behind the bear is a rocky, dirt ground that lifts up into a grassy hill.]

"sky darkening, by smoke
or night; the clarity of stars."

[ID: A black and white, double exposed, film photo of a person holding a crystal ball. In the foreground of the photo, a hand reaches in from the bottom right of the frame. The crystal sits in the palm of the hand, fingers gently curved in to cup the sphere. Light and reflections of the room itself swirl within the orb. Just behind this layer of exposure, the same person stares right into camera, the crystal ball held across their chest. They have light skin and their body is draped in flowing fabrics. One hand holds the crystal at its base, their fingers are spread wide. The ball is mostly dark but catches some highlights from the open, bright window along the left side of the frame. There is a whimsical, swirling haze that overlays the photo, perhaps the trailing smoke of incense.]

"a child opens their fists

Photo by Tim Wade.
[ID: The first slide is a black and white film photo of rock formations at Arches National Park. In the foreground of the photo are some foliage amongst the rocky ground. The rock formations rise of along both the left and right sides of the frame to meet in a thin, curved archway. The right side of the frame is cast in a deep black shadow, while the sun plays into the detailed texture of the rock on the left side. Just behind the initial arch, curves another, with the shadow of a distant rock just beyond that. The cloudless sky is the characteristic dark grey of infrared black and white film.
The second slide is a color version of the first slide; created through the tricolor process, using black and white film and filters to create a color image.]

[ID: A color film photo of a person lathering sunscreen on their face and neck. The person has pale skin and short, curly, dark brown hair. They are wearing circular, black framed glasses and their eyes and mouth are shut tight. They hold a bottle of spray-on sunscreen in both hands, their finger poised to spray more onto their face. Thick, white sunscreen streaks across their forehead, cheeks, chin, and neck. They are wearing a long sleeved, collared shirt that has panels of white, grey, and black fabric. There is a teal hose swooping in from the top of the frame and an ornate, red and gold building behind the person.]

[ID: A black and white film photo of the inside of a home, featuring a cat and a person at a table. The black cat, backlit by the window behind them, is staring directly into the camera. They are sitting on top of a circular table. The human person has their elbows perched on the table, one hand holding their phone and the other gripped around the lower half of their face. They are looking at their phone. Besides the cat and the elbows, there is a laptop, mug, napkin, cord, pen, paper, and plate on the table top. In front of the large window, behind the scene at the table, hang two potted plants. Along the left of the frame, there is a large, flat white material hanging on the wall of the room. Along the right of the frame, there is a shelf mounted up high on the opposing wall; perhaps a cozy perch for the cat.]
