1 Image 1 Minute- Justin Cresswell


New Family

A dash of red in a sea of green. These mysterious figures in the middle of Yellowstone were unknown to me until recently. Now, they are a part of my family. The photo was taken on a family outing during the summer of 2016. The photographer, Morgan Alleman, was going on a trip with her household as a graduation celebration. Shown here are Kyle, Keegan, and Seth Alleman. In the distance, the Teton Range is peaking through the fog. It is a fuzzy, almost dreamlike, and slightly surreal image that captures my feelings of this new phenomena of expanding my family. When this photo was taken, I had no idea who any one of these figures was, or who the photographer was. They were just another mysterious group in the endless expanse of human experience beyond my scope. Now, they are all a part of me and my identity.
