Vernacular photography is the creation of photographs that take everyday life and events as their subjects.
Examples of vernacular photographs include travel and vacation photos, family snapshots, photos of friends, class portraits, identification photographs, and photo-booth images. Almost like a celebration of the mundane.
After looking at Carinthia West and Kristen Lewis I see that the idea of Vernacular photography applies to them in the way that they take pictures of people just living their lives, famous or just a normal family.
I would like to look at the idea of the journey of people and society through generations.
I’ve collected images of my parents and even some of my grandparents of their youth.
