This photo essay is an ongoing project, begun in 1997, examining long-married couples in America. The participants have all been married for 40 years or more. |

This site was created in December 1999 as a way to help evolve the work-in-progress which I plan to publish in book form. | ![]() |

I have travelled from my home in New York as far as Maine and Hawaii to meet and photograph couples for this study. The project combines formal and environmental portraits with the subjects' own words in an attempt to capture the intimate dynamic of couples who choose to make a lifelong commitment to their marriageand examines, through their eyes, the changing institution of marriage in America. |

I invite you to come in and visit with some of the couples from around the country who've been generous enough to participate. You can read further about how the project began, where it's going, and how you can help support it. | |
