When looking over old photos, I often wonder: Where are folks now? Consider the Featured Image, captured on April 17, 2004 during a fundraiser at Rockview Elementary in Kensington, Md. How has this father aged in the nearly 18 years since? What kind of woman has his little girl grown up to be?
I wasn’t acquainted with either of them, which was the case for most people photographed that day. The Canon EOS Digital Rebel was a new toy and my first dSLR. So immersed in work, I didn’t spend enough time at my daughter’s school to get to know many parents or their kids. My wife was involved enough, though.
