In Close Relations, noted photographer Henry Horenstein presents his earliest photographs, made from 1970 to 1973 when he was a student at Rhode Island School of Design. A collection of portraits of family and friends, landscapes, and period imagery. These photographs describe a time familiar to everyone, when one moves from adolescence to adulthood, remaining a part of a family while beginning to create a network of one's own. Horenstein's close relations were classic American Dreamers, homeowners with 2.5 kids and a series of dogs, in this case, all named Chamie. Horenstein documented his friends, his parents, known around town as Hot Dot and Fast Fred, and their circle of stylish, turn of the seventies friends. As a history student in the late 1960s. Horenstein learned the importance of preserving the present to create a record for the future. As he took up photography, he carried these lessons with him. In Close Relations he offers us a warm and quirky look at his personal history, and at that of a particular place and time.
