These illustrations (by Ottilie) are rich with domestic detail - flowers in a vase, clothes hanging in a closet, lamps, beds, framed pictures on the walls, and stick figures smiling and holding hands... the photographs document a kind of parenthetical time too - an unusual interlude in normal life.
The book blends their pictures together, creating what writer Cindy House describes in the afterword 'a view in triplicate, like a novel with three main characters'... capturing the passing of time from snow angels in winter to budding flowers in spring.
As photographers, we take pictures all the time anyway; it's just our way of making sense of the world, of coping, of protecting ourselves, of collecting, of creating memories and preserving something - and creating beauty... It helped us all weather the storm by having something else to do.
