See What We Notice
A record of a life being lived. Most people remember the milestones. The wedding. The move. The promotion. The birthday. But when we ask people about those moments years later, they rarely begin there. They begin with the things around them.

Different Ways of Witnessing Some stories are still unfolding. Some only reveal themselves when we look back. Some happen in a room full of people, while others live quietly in the routines of everyday life. Our work moves between all of them.

GATHERINGS
GATHERINGS
Click. There’s more hiding here.
Every gathering carries two stories. The one everyone plans for. And the one that quietly unfolds around it.
The small gestures, glances and interactions that unfold when people come together.
We document the people, relationships and moments that make the gathering what it truly was.

The Chair
A little girl once introduced an empty chair to everyone in the room. Nobody corrected her.
Names were exchanged. Space was made. The conversation continued.
By the end of the evening, the chair belonged there as much as anyone else.
The Goodbye
Every morning before school, a little boy says goodbye to his great grandmother.
She isn't by the window anymore.
He says it to her photograph now.
Then he picks up his bag and leaves for school, certain she'll hear him either way.
A Sentence We Couldn't Shake
Someone once told us:
"Children remember what we repeat, not what we announce."
We've been carrying that sentence around for a while now.
