From the publisher
Parenthood. It can be incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. Yet it presents a multitude of challenges that test even the most resilient person. It is not for everyone, but a journey that is ever-shifting and filled with love, joy, and growth, as well as pain and exhaustion. To choose to be a parent is an act of radical optimism.

Shades presents the parallel paths of Aaron Canipe and Sara J. Winston as they traverse the experience of raising their children. Begun as part of “A New Nothing” (www.anewnothing.com), the photographers have held an image-based conversation from October 4th, 2017 to present day.

“It seemed to him that the Square, itself the accidental masonry of many years, the chance agglomeration of time and of disrupted strivings, was the center of the universe. It was for him, in his soul’s picture, the earth’s pivot, the granite core of changelessness, the eternal place where all things came and passed, and yet abode forever and would never change.”


—Thomas Wolfe, THE LOST BOY

“If you're a big enough fool to climb a tree and like a cat refuse to come down, then someone who loves you has to make as big a fool of himself to rescue you.”
