Paradise Lost

My mother is losing her home.  Sometime in the next 90 days my mother, my two sisters, and my stepfather will be forced to leave.  I wouldn't say I'm sad about the loss.  The house itself is just a facade for a lot of other things going on in the family. But I am sad to see the stress the loss is causing for them.  Recently, at what will be the last Thanksgiving in this house I decided to photograph it as a way to help reconcile what is happening.  Out of respect for the family I'm not going to discuss the reasons for losing the house.  Instead, I offer these photos as peek into the life of my family as they make the transition to a better future.  Enjoy,
