| Summary: | Lisa Kereszi's earliest photographs from her teenage years are of her father, her grandmother, and the family junk yard they ran for fifty-three years. In early 2018 her father died suddenly, less than a year after her grandmother passed away. Managing grief from these dual and significant losses was made more difficult amid contentious family strife. When her father's newly-erected headstone was toppled and had to be re-mounted, Kereszi was further distraught, and asked family members nearby to rig an off-the-shelf trail camera within view of the plot. Through that device and its auto-generated photographs, she could "visit" her father's grave daily, though she was hundreds of miles away. This album of her efforts to manage mourning is presented at scale to the hand-created book she lovingly compiled as a record of her grief.--
