Want is an image and text series that explores the the fifty's lust for
cleanliness, extra storage space, mixed drinks, and consumerism. Amongst all this cold war
crassness is one modern boy searching for love and the perfect poem (and maybe a better
little brother). The backgrounds were taken from fifties era architectural magazines (note the storage comme display space, you've just got to show off all that stuff). Mom, Dad, and little brother are culled from Life and Look advertisements. And our hero, is actually my friend Michael. I shoot the photos of him and composited them with the rest of images. Shawn Rider was kind enough to help out with the plot and writing. |

My little brother is always making noise, running all over the
I tried to get Mom to read
My little brother is always
On the weekends Dad gets all
