Presented as family pictures as they would normally be seen, in an album, in the little frames on the dresser and side table, Whitaker's self portraits document the styles of amateur photography over the past eighty years. Carefully constructed from found locations, with the clothing and body language styles of those varying 20th century decades, the images even mimic the photographic paper and printing styles of the period. But because we know these images are actually all the same person, we can look beyond the technical issues and the style of the time, to perhaps think about the person from the past as being really just like ourselves.
