I graduated from high school in 1969. It was an interesting time. We landed on the Moon. Woodstock happened. The war in Vietnam was starting to wind down, but the protests were getting louder. The Kent State shootings were coming in the spring. We were cursed to graduate in interesting times. That was 50 years ago. I went to my 50th class reunion for Licking Valley High School and I was struck by the interesting, weathered people who had been my classmates. So I decided to make some portraits of them to try to capture the traces of the half-century of life we’ve experienced.
