Not long after my wife and I moved in to our home, our sense of security was shattered. The sense of violation that accompanies, or immediately follows, an invasion of private space is not easily shaken. Such violation elicits an immediate, and often excessive, shift in state of mind and alters the perception of our physical surroundings. It changed the way I think about my home and how I occupy it. My habits and routines shifted. Every noise was suspect. As a result, I forced myself to think like a burglar in order to stay one step ahead.

The call of the ocean has long been a focus of Narelle Autio’s work. Spending her childhood growing up in sun-soaked Australia she has had a lifetime relationship with the beach and is fascinated by the need for many of us to return to water. A primeval need connecting us to our ancient ancestors, pulling us back to where we came. The images dive into our collective memories and speak too many of their own personal experiences.

Laurie Blakeslee’s photography is a poignant look inside family, memory and loss, capturing moments of her aging parents and their consuming passions. Laurie was the first person I met when I moved to Idaho from Arkansas. Actually, we met before I moved, at a national Society for Photographic Education conference and I count myself very lucky to have her be my introduction to Boise. I thoroughly enjoy Laurie’s ability to capture the quiet complexities of family and the weight her images give to the simplest things.
