I am actually crazy hot for these photos and I am not sure why that is exactlly yet. I feel like you have created these "family" portraits in a very odd manner. You know that I am a fan of having some sort of mediator between the camera and my subject. It creates this sense of mystery and Mardi Belle, does not look like herself, you have created something more...I will add another part when I think more about it.
If you are talking about interspersing these types of photos into your bar portrait series, I think playing around with the washout light in the foreground and background portrays something mixing innocence with memory- how we got from there to here and everything in between. It's not like your average viewer would know the second photo is your daughter, it could be a childhood portrait of a woman in your bar series, the same with the boy at the bottom as the flashback of, say, the man in the blue flannel (see my comment on your 'leetle friends' post). I wouldn't have put these together in my mind. But somehow I see your project taking on a gentler form, yet somehow tragic at the same time. Like Mary was saying, it's hard to describe through words -- it's just a feeling at this point.
