Signed; Deanna Dikeman - Leaving and Waving - 2021

This book, which spans 27 years of photography, collects photographs Deanna Dikeman took of her parents as they said goodbye. As she drove away, Deanna Dikeman always kept her camera pointed at her parents. What began as a quick snapshot in 1991 evolved into a ritual over the years. The book chronologically documents the goodbyes as the seasons change and the years pass, splitting the photographs into color and black-and-white. Leaving and Waving — part of a larger body of work called Relative Moments — is a touching exploration of family, the passage of time, and the sadness of parting.
