Grandparents Tree
I call this image "Grandparents Tree".
It sits on the ranch that my mother's family has had since the very early 20th century, in Arizona.
The image has great significance to me because it happens to represent significance in both my personal mind and photographic experience. This was the first image that I completely visualized the final print before taking the photograph.
The year was 1996.
