Swing Set

Judy Gelles. Swing Set, 1979.

Description:
This image is part of a series titled "Diary of a Desperate Housewife: 1977-1982" I set up the camera on a tripod and documented my life as a mother of two young children from 1977-1982. I kept a journal during this period, and added the handwritten text from my journal writing to the photographs.
In this photo, my three year-old son Jason is squeezing the cable release to take the photo.

Medium:
