Photo Essay: Leaving and Waving Goodbye – Deanna Dikeman
An unplanned project of photographer Deanna Dikeman, “Leaving and Waving Goodbye” is a collection of photos taken when leaving her parents’ home during visits over the course of 27 years.
Dikeman writes:
“These photographs are part of a larger body of work I call Relative Moments, which has chronicled the lives of my parents and other relatives since 1986. When I discovered the series of accumulated ‘leaving and waving’ photographs, I found a story about family, aging, and the sorrow of saying good-bye.”
I wish I had thought to do this with my family.
