This project will be a photo essay consisting of photos and quotes of my family members. I will be using photography as a way to highlight the intimate moments a family shares while coming together because of a shared love: one another and sports. I wanted to use my capstone project as a way to picture our love for Michigan, so I decided I would photograph my family watching Michigan football’s biggest game of the regular season: Michigan vs Ohio State. I’ll know I’ve succeeded with this project if people can feel the family intimacy and strong bond we all have with this one school within the photos.
