Linda Foard Roberts: Passage

"Have you ever thought about the multitude of people who have fallen in love and borne children, whose children then had to later fall in love and bear children, and on and on, to be able to arrive at the lineage of genes that are pulsing through your body today? What if the train was a few minutes late, and one of these lovers never caught the other's lingering glance?
I have always revered the notion of family," photographer Linda Foard Roberts writes in Passage. "Even as a child I was deeply aware of the past that resides in my parents and grandparents, and how the genetic code that I inherited is connected by a thin, intangible thread through time. I see my image reflected in photographs of people I never knew—old, stained, sepia-colored images of my family's past—and I can see the presence of my father in my son, passed down through me." Roberts will sign copies of Passage today at 3PM in booth 95 at the AIPAD Photography Show. Featured image is "A Measure of Time, Both Thirteen Years Old," 2014.
