Childhood Photographs

Kristen Oppenheim is exactly the kind of artist you hope to discover in the middle of a family week; I was thrilled to come across her work yesterday on I Heart Photograph. Oppenheim has an evocative range of photographs about childhood. Above is “The Treasure” and below is “The Leap,” which are so sweetly realistic! (I remember making my parents watch endless “leaps”–I could almost do a split!)
