Jeremy Ackman says, "I see photography as documenting the life around me. I started photographing my daily commute to work on the subway. From there to documenting my family, as a stay at home father I’ve been focusing on my daughter growing up and the world around us. There are bigger influence on our lives that we don’t necessarily sense, but infect the way we think and feel about the world. Our own neighborhoods are microcosm that  express our personality and experience. Nothing stays the same, children grow into adults, neighborhoods redevelop for a newer generation. I combined home and neighborhood because there one in the same, our surroundings shape us as we shape it."

Jeremy Ackman is from Cincinnati, Ohio. Jeremy joined the Ohio National Guard after High School. During that time Jeremy was deployed to Kosovo, New Orleans, and Iraq. He got married and moved to Boston with his wife Rachel. Jeremy attended the University of Massachusetts Boston where he graduated with a Bachelors of Arts. In 2014 attended Hampshire Institute of Art for graduate school where he received a Master of Fine Arts of Photography in 2016.  He has shown work in New York, Filter Space, Black and White Magazine, The Griffin Museum of Photography, Panopticon Gallery, and Phoenix Art Museum.

Ellen Feldman says, "As I sip a cup of coffee or apply lipstick, I feel I’m channeling my mother’s gestures. I’ve had these sensations for decades, generally wanting to shake them off. But as time—and my mother—have passed, I now embrace these “invasive” feelings, These three photos are from the series, “Separation Anxiety: Mother and Daughter,” and explore issues of identity over the passage of time.

(See all of Feldman's works in the online group exhibition) Many images in this series include two photos and a quotation: I juxtapose a photograph of my mother that I took in the recent or distant past, with a photo of me “in conversation with” the photo of my mother. I include a quotation that obliquely refers to the juxtaposed photos. The third photo shown here—
a composite photo I took of my mother in her forties and me taken recently—
“borrows” an image from Ingmar Bergman’s film Persona."

Ellen Feldman is a fine arts photographer, whose work includes prints and photobooks of street photography and long-term projects. Feldman’s photographs have appeared in solo exhibits at Griffin Museum of Photography satellite galleries, Winchester, MA, the Davis Orton Gallery, Hudson, NY, and the French Cultural Center, Boston, MA; and have been shown in many juried group exhibits. Among Feldman’s photobooks are: “We Who March: Photographs and Reflections on the Women’s March, January 21, 2017,” with contributions by thirty photographers and comments by twenty marchers; a photo-comic “The Dancer as the Invisible Girl”; and two books of street photos: “Les Mystères de Paris / Paris Mysteries” and “A Week in Prague: Wall People / Street People.”
